Need to detach the two ribbon cables.
how do you reattach the ribbon cables?
I only had to remove 1 cable for the keyboard, the wide one. It is removed, and reattached, by flipping up the brown part of the socket. It was a little stiff on mine; I used 2 fingernails on either end of the socket to raise the flap up.

And how I remove the bezel?
Where do I get the replacement keyboard for this?
I have an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b012ee and I feel that the same keyboard would work
Author, please share the link
Wrong, you can't just remove the keyboard, you have to remove the 2 bolts labeled keyboard on the bottom or you are going to have a bad time.

Yes, as dloeper noted, the two screws on the bottom with the keyboard icons must be removed prior to this step. Might as well remove all the screws from the bottom, they all need to be removed (10 total, all the same size).
