There is no simple answer to your question smirk. Different model laptops have different ways in which to remove the keyboard. Some you simply remove a few screws from the bottom then unclip the keyboard from the top and others you have to completely remove everything even the motherboard to gain access to the keyboard. Just depends on the make and model.

Oh alright I just mainly worry about the keyboard tabs that snap the keyboard into place because I broke a couple before and id really like to avoid doing it again on my new keyboard which ill have to remove when my ssd gets to my house on Monday hopefully lol

Yeah those little tabs can be a pain sometimes. I found that the isesame tool helps me with those stubborn clips

And if you don't have one of those tools you can always use a plastic guitar plec, they work great at opening various parts of a laptop just make sure you have Medium and Heavy as the Light ones are way too flexible.

I have had the plastic lock break on me a number of times this is due to heat and age. They can be fixed and if you are into fixing computers, it's a must trick to learn which can get you out of a jam.

1. Strip of Plastic (old blister packaging works fine)
2. Cut a fin strip
3. Dab of hot glue on each side to hold it firm
   

I know its sound like a bodge job and it is to some extent. But sometimes its got to be done.

All except one thing went smoothly but ill start another post about the issue
