Thanks for this guide, I now have working keyboard for this first time in years! Been bluetoothing a keyboard and finally had had enough. At first, i bought just the keyboard but after some research, realized I wan’t comfortable drilling out the 100+ rivets Apple put in there. Just transferred my trackpad (also an ifixit replacement from earlier), battery and all the internals with this step by step guide and it fired right back up. Extremely happy with this fix, almost like getting a new computer….. Almost. ;)
