Steps 10 and 13 are not necessary (motherboard could be removed together with a head sink)

After following this very useful guide my new keyboard was not working, when you reconnect all the ribbon cable take some time to reconnect them better then I have done :-D

If something is not working double check the ribbon cables connection before doing anything else.
