Turn off the laptop and remove the battery.
-
Remove two screws securing the Keyboard.
-
The Keyboard is held by two locking clips, under the battery. Use the sharp tip of a plastic tool to release the keyboard.

Remove the Keyboard and disconnect the two flex cables:
-
Keyboard flex cable
-
Keyboard Light flex cable
It would be helpful to have more info on how to remove the two cables. The larger one has a couple of clips that slide, but what exactly comes off? Do the plastic strips lift, or do the flat cables just pull out of them? Don't want to break something!
I watched several videos, many of which had the action hidden behind the keyboard. The larger ribbon pulls out of the strip after the two white clips on the end are moved. The smaller one has a black strip which lifts from the ribbon side, releasing the cable.

Are you sure this is the right way to replace the keyboard? Or maybe this is just removing the keyboard and installing it back. WHAT IF the keyboard is broken and to be replaced with a new one?....
The two clips push toward the space-bar part of the keyboard. There are further clips around the edge of the keyboard, but it can be removed by careful prying with a thin blade screwdriver.
