Introduction
The keyboard is a part that is commonly in need of replacement, whether from liquid spills, debris, or damaged keys. This replacement shouldn't take too much time, but can fix a major pain in the neck.
In the guide images, some other components have been removed for clarity and simplicity, but the keyboard is still replaceable if you just follow the steps listed here.

How I will fix the chromebook 11 now?
I usually skip most all of this and start with the bezel, disconnecting the screen wire AT THE SCREEN, and not at the motherboard. 4 screws around the bezel, and 4 screws in the screen. Leave everything connected and skip to step 12.
