Step 10Reassemble the Keyboard Assembly
Return the keyboard to the solid surface and carefully place the flexible caps at every key position. Note that some keys on the edges are pushed up by the weight of the assembly. Make sure that the little nub on the cap is in the key's hole. On the others the caps simply need to fit the recess. Make sure that every key has a cap! If we're missing any, get on our knees and find them! They're easy to bounce away.
Take extreme care that there are no cat, dog, human or whatever hairs anywhere around the caps or on/in the matrix sheets! If there are, clean out the hairs with that wet cotton swab.
Now we need to place the matrix sheets exactly in the right position. Note that there are a number of "keys" that appear as raised plastic on the Key Assembly. These will pass through matching holes in the matrix sheets. Also note the position of the Caps Lock LED. There will be dark contacts on the matrix sheets that will line up with the LED perfectly.
Very carefully place the matrix sheets in the proper position. Don't slide it around or we'll likely move our caps from where they're supposed to be.
