I am impressed with myself as replaced the keyboard in my macbook.

For a lot of you it might seem simple.

I managed to break to glue and keep case intact.
Was not able glue the metal frame back so slight flex to bezel and keys not quite as proud of case as should be but it all works and I'm quite happy.

For £43 I saved my macbook from scrap.
 
While at it I removed the dry brittle heat transfer paste off CPU and GPU.
I replaced it with arctic silver compound, that should help it go bit longer.
