Well, I’m having a tough time just getting this thing opened up! Usually, I’m not looking for help this early into hand work. I return here humbly!
I’m attaching pictures with highlights for where I’ve got screws out thus far, if someone can help me make sense of what I might have missed here. I completely removed the “bottom plate”, but screwed it back on after seeing that compartment held the weighted mechanisms (I think) and didn’t help me access the top of the keyboard for the volume control knob (I think). Also, I haven’t removed the black “support bar” or the brackets that support it, because there’s a screw inaccessible behind where the bar meets the bracket. Anyway, don’t even know if this (or the bracket) needs to come off for the job.
The red circles are where I haven’t gotten the screws out. It seems like I have to actually pull apart the keyboard stand to gain access to the controls (??), which is the only reason I’m even looking at them. But these screw/bolts (that also hold IKEA together) are just stripping when I try to “unlock” them. So, if I actually don’t need to undo them to get the keyboard open... that’d be great!
Any suggestions are very welcome and appreciated, as I don’t want to create more problems just trying to access my current problem! If I can take helpful pictures or clarify anything, please let me know!
