Opening and trying to fix a leaked HP 48S

[franz.b]

it seems like a great idea! I had the same problem when I did it and I invented to put pins under the hooks, but your method is simpler and more practical! now at least you know it's alive in fact and worth the keyboard repair.
I don't know exactly how to proceed, but I have seen disassembled keyboards online and maybe you can find some guides. I think you need to cut all the plastic rivets. Then to reassemble I think I saw a hot glue method, but I am thinking that I would try to put plastic or metal strips with holes in correspondence of the rivets, I would drill the rivets partially and I would screw in some small screws.
