This model does not use screws (except on the edges) to hold the keyboard in place, but brad type of pegs. You really have to be a good tech to change just the keyboard. Apple recommends a complete upper case replacement. There are some options here but we need to know why it got melted. Liquid spill?

Yes, liquid and then i turn everything worse trying to dry with a hair dryer, I didn´t know that my keyboard could be melted buy it. I lost de V, B, N and G. I´m not a tech, i´m just a user, a very sad user :( , I can´t find this keyboard on the internet, nothing in ebay or amazon... There´s a warning on any macbook pro manual to not use hair dryer to dry a keyboard ? it should exist, Thanks Mayer

Apple won't fix it except at exorbitant prices. You'll need to replace the upper case, a very difficult job and expensive part. Here's the guide: MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2015) Upper Case Assembly

Here's the part: MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2015) Upper Case Assembly Get a repair quote from a couple of non-Apple affiliated top notch techs. see what it going to run, then contact your insurance agent and see if you are covered. Let a real professional do this one. An experienced pro may be able to save you a couple of hundred.

DO NOT replace the keyboard, do not replace the upper case unless necessary, just buy individual keycaps and replace them.

Tom. how is that that going to help out a shorted keyboard?

by

Mayer, as I said, you can replace the top case altogether, if necessary. Do not replace just the keyboard.

by

Tom, they spilled something into the keyboard as well here. So there is two issues the spill damage and the melted keys. While replacing the key caps may address the melted keys the other damage could be worse here.
