Keyboard replacement

My Fix

I used the guide to get down to the keyboard and a different video for the actual keyboard replacement. I couldn't get many of the rivets out (which exposed the screw holes) and I ended up gluing (epoxy) the keyboard in place on the rivets. It was a success, however!

My Advice

This was a very tedious job. I used putty epoxy instead of liquid to avoid a missed drop ruining the keyboard but this made it take a long time, gluing a very holes/rivets, weighting it down and letting those dry, and then moving on. In retropsect, I probably would just replace the whole lower case.
