Introduction
The keyboard inputs character data to the laptop through key presses called keystrokes. Faulty keys may cause unregistered keystrokes with no input of character data. An on-screen keyboard available through Windows or an external USB keyboard may be used until internal keyboard issues are resolved.
Before using this guide, be sure to review the troubleshooting page - unresponsive or stiff keys may be resolved without replacing the keyboard. Debris may be interfering with the keyboard or internal cables may have become disconnected.
Before starting a repair, make sure to power off your device completely and disconnect from any external power source.

Step 2: There are screws under the rubber pads (at least on the UX303L).
Step 9: Its removing the hard drive/SSD not RAM.

Battery pack should be removed first (at least before step 3) in order to avoid possible power surge
