In the black variant of this model I found that there are two screws under the rubber feet near the hinge.

Super easy repair, keep track of your screws and be very careful with ribbon that connects keyboard and Touch pad.

This was very close to a similar HP Chromebook I had to repair recently. Such a beautiful and simple process. I cleaned the keyboard connectors and everything functioned perfectly after I was done. The whole process took about 30 minutes (allotting 10 minutes to find my rubbing alcohol that my wife hid from me).
