Step Lines

-[* black] Finally wrestle the keyboard off, and at least this cable booby trap is real long.
-[* black] The connector is hidden under a clip-on shield on the motherboard tho, which is gross, but not uncommon with [guide|51568|surface|stepid=112541] [guide|92362|devices|stepid=173095|new_window=true].
-[* black] There goes the keyboard, presumably there's a trackpad somewhere in there.
-[* red] Speaker hole ports to channel sound underneath the keyboard.
+[* black] With the keyboard plate finally wrested free of its sticky and plastic-y jailers, we're at least pleased by the long cable connecting it to the body.
+[* black] Our pleasure is short-lived. The connector is trapped under a clip-on shield on the motherboard, complicating its removal. This is surprisingly not that uncommon with recent [guide|51568|Surface|stepid=112541] [guide|92362|devices|stepid=173095|new_window=true].
+[* black] With the keyboard out, we begin the search for the trackpad. Presumably it's in here somewhere...
+[* red] We do find a couple sets of speaker ports, to allow sound to travel up through the keyboard.
