Hi!

Thanks for this very helpful and detailed set of instructions. One small suggestion - assuming that replacing the keyboard means you need a working one to replace the old one with, you might want to consider adding “Parts: replacement keyboard” instead of “No parts required.”

Cheers,

Please specify what is being replaced. Is the rubber keyboard the part that needs to be replaced?
