HP EliteBook 840 G3 Keyboard Replacement

HP's service manual for this computer is a great document. But on page 52, it says to "insert a thin tool into the hole beside the fan assembly". But their illustration doesn't actually show the location of that hole. Worse yet, molded into the plastic, there is a keyboard symbol and an arrow POINTING THE WRONG WAY (zoom into my picture, you'll see what I mean).

To save you trouble, I've outlined the hole in RED in the photo I have attached. You can remove the keyboard by using the back end of your spudger, a small wooden dowel or similar non-conductive tool, and applying slight pressure until the keyboard lifts up enough for you to get your pick, or fingernails under it.

For a person who commented above: you are wrong, this is how elitebook 840 g3 looks like. After removing 2 screws I got stuck at the same issue with the arrow as the author explains. THANK YOU FOR THIS GUIDE IT SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME !
Update - HP's service manual for their computers has disappeared, but they have a lot more of their own service videos on their YouTube channel. In this particular case, they demonstrate in this video using a wooden dowel how to pop they keyboard loose like their manual describes. The audio is actually just the computer reading the steps from their manual. If any one can find the manual, please add it here.
