Introdução
Through this guide, you will be able to remove the Chromebook's keyboard from the back casing and expose the battery and motherboard underneath. The keyboard may need to be replaced if several keys are unresponsive, the keyboard as a whole is unresponsive, or the mouse/touchpad is unresponsive.

Hmmm. So I found that once I had got the keyboard section off the motherboard/battery section that there was a metal plate which was holding the keyboard in place. I found a YouTube video, White Angel I think, and showed how you could get the plate off to be able to replace the keyboard.
There are screws under the rubber pads on the bottom that need to be taken out as well. I fix these as a school where we literally have hundreds of these. There is no metal plate as described in the comment above. Rubber pads have letters and are not interchangeable with the other corners.
Ed, he's talking about the metal plate fastened to the keyboard once you remove the palm rest assembly. You’re referring to removing the initial external bottom screws.
White Angel shows us how to replace the keyboard in the assembly, which saves you about $20 in parts vs. buying another full palm rest assembly.
The only issue is that she pops the plastic tabs largely holding the metal plate in place- and never repairs them. So the keyboard looks nonfastened and gerry-rigged.
Might be worth spending the extra $20 for the full assembly in the long run.
Cheers

I have this laptop. The top right corner of the keyboard has popped out. How do I fix this?
Try removing the rubber foot under the popped corner, remove the screw, push down on the corner and replace the screw while holding the corner down.
Just a note: the little rubber feet are all lettered (A-D) and you do need to match them to their proper corners when re-assembling.
I have several keys that have stopped working. Replace the keyboard or is there a fix?
This happen when the ribbon cable that connects the keyboard gets squashed too hard.
See [1] below for a decription and fix.

Does this also work for the Lenovo n22 80S6?
There is also a screw under each of the 4 rubber feet that must be removed.

Thank you for that little bit of important information. I almost torn apart the keyboard using too much force :)

I feel like i’m doing something wrong. It’s hard to get the new keyboard pushed in. Im afraid i’m going to break it.

I feel like I am doing something wrong. I got the keyboard off no problem. Put the replacement on and I feel like it’s going to break when I try to push it back in the frame.

You should update the guide. As Aaron Kurtz told long time ago there are screews under the feet. It is said in the comments, but not in the guide. I’m afraid somebody may break the keyboard…
