Is there an evga sc 17 service manual, or how do I disassemble the evga sc 17?

Hey,
 
I guess you want to open it because of the problem you're mentionning here?

If your laptop is still under warranty I wouldn't advice you to open it, as if you do something incorrectly you could void your warranty.
 
As EVGATech_JeffP mentionned, if you have a problem with it and it's still under warranty you should email support@evga.com about your problem!
 
Have a nice day :)

I was just curious to see how it's done, in case I need to in the future. I also need to know what kind of screwdriver I need for the bottom panel. One of the screws fell out by itself, for some reason. I would like to screw it back in. 

No service manual is offered by EVGA in the document section   https://www.evga.com/support/manuals/
 
The case plastic catches are easy to break
 
Some screws may be hidden beneath an item
 
usually T4 or T5 tiny little "star" headed

If you don't need to actually do anything (such as upgrading RAM, SSD, HDD, or WIFI), it's generally a bad idea to start digging around.  If you do plan to do this (I've upgraded both the SSD and HDD), it's just unscrewing 12 Phillips Torx screws.  Note that 10 of these screws are exposed and easy to find, but 2 of them are behind two + shaped holes that are under the rubber hinge support/feet.  Once you remove those screws, the entire bottom panel comes loose.
 
Replacing the HDD, SSD, and RAM is simple at that point; they're all exposed.  I can't remember if the WIFI card is but I think so.  Getting to the parts you mentioned in your other post, however, require you to remove the motherboard.  Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to be blunt: if you didn't figure out how to open the laptop, you've probably got no business removing the motherboard to go after other components.  This isn't a judgement of you or your abilities and of course you have the right to do whatever you want to do with your hardware, but I'd strongly recommend against it.  Note: EVGA explicitly states that you'll void your warranty if you remove the motherboard.  I asked.  Also note that, according to recent public statements from the FTC, voiding your warranty just by opening your device isn't legal (so long as you don't damage anything), but you may have to sue EVGA to get them to honor your warranty, which is a hassle you don't need.  Thus, again, I'd recommend against it.
 
TL;DR: You can open your laptop by removing 10 visible screws and 2 hidden ones.  Do this to upgrade RAM, SSD, HDD, and WIFI.  Don't go deeper by removing the motherboard.
 
Edit: Apologies; I should have said Torx, not Phillips.  Probably T6, but you should confirm this.

No worries!  If it's a hardware issue, just send it in under warranty.  First, however, try the following:

1. Use an external USB keyboard and see if it persists.
2. Open Notepad and start typing to see what happens to help diagnose exactly what's going on.
3. Try creating a new user in Windows and see if the issue persists.
4. Try a safe boot, or possibly uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and/or Windows as a last resort.

If none of that solves the issue, it's a hardware problem and you really should use your warranty for those.

the only things in your control:
 
1) day of the week you ship it
2) Shipping service your willing to pay for
------------------------------
"My guestamate"
 
So if you ship on  Monday with 2nd day service.  EVGA may receive it Wednesday @ the warehouse, but will it happen soon enough to be looked at ? 

It will join the Queue of returns to be inspected. 
 
If the "tamper" stickers have been moved they will probably take a deeper dive into the laptop
 
So, Thursday it gets looked at ?  5 business days to "process" --> would mean the Next Wednesday EVGA hands it to the shipper.
 
Again depends on shipping speed you opt for $$$
 
Worth the time to call and Ask EVGA what is Normal turnaround once they have received the laptop   https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/
 
 
If it crosses the boarder - shipped internationally- read this https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2819310

For those of you who have sent it in for repair under warranty, how long does it take to get back to you? It just sucks to not have access to something you use everyday. 

"Not have access"? You have access. Full access. You can take every little bit apart and reassemble and legally EVGA cannot deny you warranty coverage ... as long as you don't break or damage any part in the process. It is simply risky and therefore ill-advised. As far as the warranty void sticker on one of the motherboard screws, it has no legal standing in the United States and therefore removing that sticker will not affect the warranty. Again, it is simply ill-advised as it is an awkward and delicate process.

By not have access I mean when the laptop is off being repaired, not that I can't repair it myself.
