Note: If you can’t get into DFU mode the regular way, try shorting these two dots on the spacebar with tweezers and powering up to get into DFU mode. Make sure the switch on the bottom case is in the middle. If you need to open the top cover, care needs to be taken to ensure that you have a pry bar or a waste bank card.
It is important to be cautious while attempting to open the keyboard. For detailed guidance on opening the keyboard, you can refer to this video tutorial: LINK.
