Step 5, 6, and 7 are completely unnecessary. You do not need to remove all those screws to replace the keyboard. You only need to remove the Hard Drive panel bolt in step 3, and the bolt in step 8 that has a keyboard logo next to it. You can confirm that this is the only bolt necessary to remove by viewing the underneath of the keyboard in step 10.
Agree with Keil, steps 5-7 are unnecessary, but an interesting experience. 63-year old grandma successfully replaced the keyboard so granddaughter can have a computer. Thanks for the great instructions!
