Based on the limited guides we have on this site for this Chromebook, and a picture of a replacement keyboard on another site, (link here) I would assume that the keyboard is held in with screws around the edge of the keyboard.
These Chromebooks aren't very difficult to disassemble, so removing the guts from your current machine shouldn't be too difficult. Once the motherboard, battery, and possibly the speakers are removed, you can begin looking to see if the keyboard is held in with screws. If it is, you're in luck! Just buy a new keyboard. If it's those little plastic pop rivets, I'm sure you can make do with either remelting a little plastic on each point, or using a little glue. Good luck with the repair!

I’m guessing that means there is no way since you’ve had no answer? I need to replace mine.... if you found how it would be most useful! Thank you!

Sorry to say I have not. I'm still waiting and using the virtual keyboard but it's very clunky. I have a new replacement and have opened the unit but got stuck at the keyboard ribbon. I can't figure how it disconnects and don't want to destroy it just yet! Hopefully someone will know.

To disconnect the keyboard ribbon: slide the black clip twords the ribbon and it should slide right out of the cream colored portion of the socket.
