It's quite easy to replace the keyboard.

1. (after removing all power sources)
2. Pull up the wide cover where the power button is.
3. Unscrew the 5 silver bolts you see there.
4. Pull the keyboard towards LCD and up but not too far.
5. Disconnect the 2 ribbon cables carefully by undoing the clips first.

Repeat in reverse for new keyboard
