Does anyone have instructions on replacing a keyboard for an Elitebook 850 G7?

 

I have found the HP disassembly guide and it says every component needs to be removed first. I am hoping there is an easier way.

Unfortunately, nothing is as easy it seems.

This video shows removing the keyboard and yes, a lot has to be removed first.

I did not see any rivets being drilled out which I have seen on one apple product.

 

Is the keyboard ruined or can you get by replacing  a few keys.  This company provides the hinge and cup in addition to the key.

Thank you for the reply. I wish it was that easy. I saw that video and the G7 is built differently. 

 

The link below is the best guide I have found so far.

It basically states that every single part has to be removed before you can get to the keyboard. I was hoping for something simpler like in the video you posted. For some of my users certain keys can be unresponsive at times. I figured the only workable fix would be a keyboard replacement. Would you happen to have any other suggestions that could work?
