Well this is not too bad! You’ll need to pull the logic board to gain access to the keyboard following this guide MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement.

The backlight assembly which is what you see first will need to be removed and you’ll need to replace the LED’s that have blown (from a junker) or just replace the entire backlight assembly Book Pro 13" Keyboard Backlight Sheet or the full uppercase MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Early 2011-Mid 2012) Upper Case.
