A MacBook A1465 came in today with no power, took it apart tested it all out, found that the power button doesn't work and everything else seem brilliant, my question is can I just replace the keyboard or do I have to replace the full uppercase? TIA
Is this a good question?

@reecee may know of a supplier in the UK
@krayzee yes that part is fine. You'll need to order screws too (search on eBay for a1369 keyboard screws). Make sure it's not an issue with the trackpad cable (sometimes this can cause an issue with the power button, instead of the keyboard).
You don't need a backlight, you can reuse the old one if it lights fine, so you should be able to get it for cheaper. As long as it is an A1465 2011-2015 keyboard, it will work fine
@reecee This comment is what saved my machine. Power button not working, and saw evidence of a liquid on the keyboard. I replaced the keyboard but the problem persisted. Checked the trackpad cable (thanks to your comment) and the connector was severely corroded. Replaced it and now the machine is fixed. Thank you!
