1/ I'm getting around to this. Here's a little video of the top case so you can see what I'm dealing with. Pray for my fingernails, this is gonna be skanky.

2/ And here's what it looks like on the inside. Luckily this isn't the laptop of my daughter that suffered a spilled can of coke on the keyboard (that was a MacBook Air and was terminal).
4/ Obviously this was a simple case of completely dismantling the whole thing and soaking it in soapy water before giving it a good clean with a toothbrush, peeling the labels off and removing the adhesive. This is how the lid looks now.
5/ They keyboard is in good nick, though the process of exposing it is somewhat... destructive. It's held in place with those melted plastic grommits. If the keyboard works then I will secure it some other way.
7/ Blimey I just found out the service manual is freely available for this thing. Amazing! Should make putting it back together a bit easier (not sure which screws go where 😅)
