This is an excellent guide, thank you! I used it in combination with the procedure at http://www.insidemylaptop.com/replacing-... to replace a keyboard after water damage. The only issue I had was with that second procedure sealing the black backer film around the keyboard upon reassembly. There is a little light leakage but not terrible. Thanks again Andrew for this fantastic guide.

A superb guide…….went like clockwork…….got it all done in about an hour and a half……I’m sure anyone could do it faster with this guide, but I double checked myself each step of the way. Thanks for posting this!

Replaced my keyboard and everything works fine except my “0” key and of course I need that to log in. I purchased the keyboard from Ifixit.com
