Need to replace my keyboard however don't want to damage unit. Has anyone already done this for this model? Thanks in advance
 
Not sure how much different this one is, but here's a step-by-step for a k53u

A lot different. The cover for the hard drive and memory is one long cover. And there are no slots for keyboard snaps... This is a new unit which is why it is so difficult to find.
 
I've searched a lot longer than I should have looking for your answer, to no avail.

I was able to find some Asus troubleshooting regarding the keyboard, but I don't know if they apply to the issue your having:

A local computer repair shop is always an option :) A pro could make quick work of it.
