Introduction
The keyboard of the Asus Chromebook C101P is not too difficult to remove and is the most important step to replace other parts. If your keyboard ever fails to work, for example, after being covered in water and not responding, all you need to do is unscrew a few screws, swap the keyboard, and screw the case tight. It is important that you unplug and shut your Chromebook off before attempting this replacement in order to prevent electrocuting yourself.
