White Macbook (late 2007): Replacing JUST the keyboard

[senuxis]

Recently after cleaning my macbook keyboard some of the keys have stopped working. Everthing else works fine. So, I bought a keyboard on ebay. Now I can't seem to find a guide about how to remove and replace JUST the keyboard. Please help me. Thanks.

The keyboard is, to the best of my knowledge, part of the palmrest. Did you buy only a keyboard or the palmrest as well?

I only bought a keyboard.

Can be done but is not easy.

The link shows how someone fitted a MBA backlit keyboard to a MacBook top case.

Personally I would buy a top case from eBay...

I hope you paid under $25 for just the keyboard or this was a severe waste of money.
