On most, there are 1 - 3 screws to

Heed the caveats in the man page (and all other places where the user

Sounds like some fun.

I have a Lenovo T520. From time to time (but very seldom), the whole keyboard
is no more working (just hangs). It is a problem with X, maybe related to the
NVidia driver. In these rare cases I connect a wireless keyboard to the
notebook (put the dongle into an usb port) and can go on on typing.
