Step#3
Next, turn the laptop over and push in the 3 plastic clips that hold the keyboard into place. Insert a small screwdriver
into the 3 slots above the keys 'F3', 'F9' and 'Home' for the R580 (shown). The clips for the R480 are above the 'F2',
'F8' and 'PauseBreak' keys. Now, using the screwdriver push the clips back towards the screen to unlock the keyboard.
Then, pull up on the keyboard. The glossy keyboard frame will lift out along with the keyboard. Then lay the keyboard
on its face to gain access to the keyboard lockdown clip.
