Thanks to the author for the time spent putting this guide together.

However, a quick heads-up: the guide is incomplete. It only covers roughly 25% of the full process required to replace the keyboard, and there are many additional steps missing after the final one shown.

In case it helps anyone, I was able to finish the keyboard replacement by following these instructions:

The order of the steps isn’t exactly the same in both guides, but they complement each other perfectly. All in all, it took me about two hours to complete the entire process.
