If you are replacing only the keyboard, you can skip to step 18, and then skip the WiFi adapter removal step. The CPU fan, m.2 SSD, RAM and WiFi adapter (marked in green) will all come off with the main board, giving you access to the keyboard.
Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the ten 5.5mm screws.
Remove the last two 5.5mm Phillips #1 screws, and remove the washers around them.
