Here is the removed keyboard. The arrows point to double sided tape, bane of Computer Techs everywhere. It is important to use gentle, constant pressure when dealing with adhesives, otherwise you can bend or even break the keyboard.

The sliver backing you see is the backlighting mechanism for the keyboard in the G73.
