Step 3
- Using an iFixit opening tool, pry open the case to separate the keyboard from the main body.
- HP Stream 11s tend to be really difficult to open. If your device is not opening with a standard iFixit opening tool, use a nylon spudger, then the metal spudger, or a metal Jimmy as the last resort.
- When using the metal spudger or Jimmy, be careful not to bring these tools into contact with any electronic components of the device as this can damage the device.

I feel like the 5-10 minutes estimated time is way too short for this repair (however, I have not done this, and may be wrong).

There will definitely be variation depending on each individual but our group came to the conclusion that this was a reasonable time frame. I appreciate the feedback though and if anyone else reaches out saying it is too short I will increase the estimated time. Thank you!
