I need to clean my keyboard, its a white Apple Pro that came with my iMac. Any help / suggestions about how to get inside it would help. Thanks

There is one screw hidden underneath the sticker on the back, really impossible to take the keyboard apart until you remove it.

The other screws you may have trouble finding are hidden underneath the keys on the keyboard. (Somewhere over by the cap lock, shift, a, z & the 6, +, 3, enter on the keypad)

buy one of those cans of compressed air, it will blow all the crap right out of the keyboard for ya.

I think the only way to clean a Pro Keyboard is to open it.
According to Jack anywayz.

Oh well.

Looks like I forgot 1 hidden screw, oops. 😱

It's been awhile since I degunked my keyboard last, and I didn't have any dissassembly instructions.

But I did know about Apples habit of hiding screws behind stickers. 😉
