! ATTENTION ! Comme l’a dit avarno il y a quelques mois, le tutoriel ne propose QUE DE REMPLACER LE BLOC CLAVIER + PAVÉ TACTILE. Sur Ifixit on peut aussi acheter le clavier seul (ce que j’ai fait). On se retrouve bloqué à l’étape 12. J’ai posté une solution en commentaire de l’étape 12 (peut être pas très conventionnelle, à vos risques et périls !)
