Introduction
Utilize this guide to remove or replace a keyboard that is no longer functioning correctly from a Lenovo IdeaPad Y500. Creating a backup for your hard drive is recommended in case of damage caused during keyboard removal. Unplug the computer before any further steps are completed to avoid damaging components of the device.
After removing the old keyboard, repeat all steps in reverse order(starting with the final step and finishing with step 1) to reassemble your device. Consult your local regulations concerning the disposal of electronic waste materials.

Not sure if removing all components was really necessary just to replace the keyboard but I still did it and succeeded in replacing the keyboard. Thank you for great and detailed instructions.
