Shut down the computer.

Use a Metal Spudger and remove the rubber foot closet from the bottom of the laptop.

-
Remove all of the screws located on the bottom of the laptop:
-
5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws
-
5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws
“5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws”
“5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws”
I think the color for the sizes are mixed up, because the one near the screen bending part are the bigger ones, yet it says they are the “2.0 x 5.0 mm” but they are the bigger ones.
If I’m wrong, tell me because I’m not sure if thats the ways they’re named because I’m not an expert at screw sizes.

Where's the replacement?
I have just the keyboard without the panel. How can I replace that?
you have to pry off like 50 stupid dinky little rubber clips from the underside of the palmrest that hold the keyboard onto the palmrest. then insert your new keyboard and solder it on to the bottom side of the palmrest. I used the little rubber clips as solder when I replaced a non-backlit keyboard for a backlit one on a pavilion x360. it’s tedious, and you do need a soldering rod.
I’d like to clean the under part of my keyboard keys on Hp Paviliion 360, how do I go about that?
You have to read my comment right above and detach the keyboard from the palmrest on the underside by prying off the dinky little clips holding the keyboard to the palmrest . Then you'd be able to clean the keyboard as it would be free from the palmrest. Then you'd have to reassemble it with a soldering rod. Good luck. This is why HP sells the keyboard and palmrest as one piece for this laptop. It's a difficult job to separate the two and as if not more difficult reassembling it.
