Apple wired keyboard disassembly (A1243 - MB110)

[Xde]

Hello all,
also I never did it, I know the "How-To" disassemblys with a spreader to get off the bottom plastic part,
but I dont really like that way.
While thinking about it, I got the idea to use a sharp cutter knife and cut off the whole end part of the plastic base,
cutting below the rear stand, which contains the logic board.
I add a photo where I drawd the cut position.
If I am not wrong, it should be possible to get out the logicboard, if the wires a long enough.

Did anyone tried this method?

BTW. in my case I killed the keyboard with over-voltage. 12V in case of 5V USB supply.
Has anyone an idea, which chip or semiconductor may be broken?
I didnt tried it, it just happened and I have no logicboard to compare.
Thanks

Sie sprechen Deutsch? Looking forward to seeing the eventual result of your experiment.

First: yes, Grüße aus München. Second: beside serveral projects, if I come to try it, I will post results here...
