If certain keys on your keyboard fail to work or if it isn't working properly according to your laptop's Device Properties, keyboard replacement is probably necessary. However, this guide also acts as a predecessor to speaker replacement. Thankfully it is a simple replacement that only requires the use of a plastic opening tool.

Just as a note, there are two screws that keep that keyboard held in place. You need to remove the back panel and take out those two screws, otherwise you’re going to have a tough time. Also, you really don’t need the pry tool, once those screws are out, the keyboard slides off. The rest of the process is spot on.
Don’t forget the screws, otherwise you will never get the keyboard off or worse damage it during removal
