Keyboard replacement guide for the Acer C910 Chromebook?

This computer uses the same keyboard that mine (CB3-532) does, although the palm rest may be slightly different. I wrote a guide for the exact operation you want to do, but it's for that computer, not yours. However, looking at the interior parts of the C910, it appears to me that the main differences are mostly in the addition of a CPU fan on yours and as a result the placement of some of the connectors have changed, as well as the shape of the I/O board and motherboard. But in general, it looks to me like the use of a little common sense when following the guide should let you complete the job successfully. There is a guide available for the C910 that will show you how to remove the CPU fan that should help.

As noted in the Introduction, you can buy just a keyboard without the palm rest, but the job of swapping it out is painful. There are around 58 plastic pins the keyboard back plate sits on, and they're secured by melting the top of the pin down onto the metal frame. So in order to replace the keyboard, you'll have to either melt or cut off all of those pins, then you're left with the job of figuring out how to resecure them on the new keyboard. Best option I can think of is to come up with some other supply of plastic then use a soldering iron to heat a blob onto each of the pins. If you can find a supply of small enough screws, it should also be possible to drill a tiny hole in each pin and secure it with a screw. All of that sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth, especially given that I found a brand new keyboard / palm rest assembly for sale on eBay for about $17.50, so I opted to go ahead and buy the complete assembly rather than tackle that mess.
