The Commodore 128, also known as the C128, C-128, or C= 128, is the last 8-bit home computer that was commercially released by Commodore. It uses a built in keyboard, but external power supply, and offers near complete compatibility with its predecessor, the best-selling Commodore 64.

Disassembly Notes
The case can be opened by removing the visible screws at the bottom, then using a plastic prying tool if necessary. Next, disconnect the keyboard, ground wire, and power led, and the top case will be free.
IMPORTANT: When reinstalling the keyboard and top case, do not overtighten the screws. Doing so will result in visible bumps forming on the top of the computer.
