I had an HP laptop at work where the keyboard went haywire. I saw a replacement keyboard online and thought "hey, why not, I'll just replace it". I didn't even look up any videos or anything because I'd never think there would be a problem. So after needing to disassemble everything to get to the front plate, I was very happy to find out that the keyboard is riveted to it (about 20 or so rivets). I looked up a video and they suggested drilling out every rivet and then replacing them. I had never been so frustrated with a piece of technology before. Luckily, a can of contact cleaner solved the problem
