    got some drink spill on keyboard and most of the keys are stuck. most of the online guides that telling you how to remove the keyboard in fact only tell you how to remove the palm rest, which is easy but that keyboard itself, is welded with many many small plastic nails/glue kind of thing. onto the palm rest. that's the upper side of the keyboard. sadly I didn't take a photo as I took my laptop apart and found there is no way to remove the keyboard from it without destroying it. I would think u need some kind of plying to get it out. but then when I put in a new keyboard there will be no plastic glue to keep the keyboard 'UP'. and all the keys are gonna sink down?

    You can't. Those types of keyboard need the whole top assembly replaced :-/

    Yeah, this is, unfortunately, the case (no pun intended). Many other Asus models tout a similar design that require the entire top case to be replaced if the keyboard or the trackpad needs replaced..
