The aluminum keyboard cannot be taken apart with any hope of reassembly. It's glued together and so cannot be disassembled. If you have keys that are broken, not just not working due to debris under the key cap, you'll need to replace the keyboard. If it's just debris, you may be able to pry off the relevant keycaps and try to clean under them, but you may well destroy the caps or the underlying switches in doing so.


Regards.
