>Then there are two mylar sheets underneath (clear plastic sheets with metal
>circutry stamped on).
>FROM HERE ON IN BE CAREFUL. Although you can't actually damage the computer

>sheets, as that will severe the circuts that connect to the motherboard.
>The mylar sheets with the circutry need to cleaned, as well as the rubber

>Its not hard at all, definitely not complicated. Just don't tug too hard.

I have used a clean eraser. If it looks like there is a number of
keys that dont work, look at the traces and see if all those keys
share a common trace. if so, you will have to do an additional step
to fix.
