This guide needs more work. The metal keyboard has small black pins that keep it in place. They will need to be melted by a heating/soldering gun, and then remelted to keep the new keyboard in place.

This guide is incomplete. You will require a soldering pencil to reattach the new keyboard to its metal backing plate and the laptop faceplate. It could also be useful in releasing the old keyboard from the backing plate and faceplate. if you are slow and cautious it will probably take you 90 to 120 minutes to complete. 40 minutes is only if you have done this type of keyboard before.

Also read the comments regarding the access bay screws that need to be removed during disassembly and remember to remove the sata drive as well.
