Pinebook 14" keyboard misses keypresses UPDATE

Pics above show the keyboard module coming out;  I did have to remove the display in order that I don't damage it while trying to wrestle the replacement keyboard module into place.  The issue is that each rivet has to be pushed into position from the other side and then "heat-squished" into place.  Too much work to risk the display -- out it came !


         


Left pic above are the top rivets;  normally they would protrude through both the keyboard module and the shield. I have decided to NOT do that in reverse -- I will be heat-squishing the replacement module to the top bezel 'alone' and then aluminum taping the shield in place above ( below ) that.  

The keyboard module base metal is 1mm wider and 1mm longer than the original keyboard module !  Not sure yet if this is going to be a problem or not ( at this point, I'm not going to worry about it ). Otherwise the keyboard replacement module fits perfectly in the top bezel, something I am thankful for and frankly fairly surprised to see !
