If you have a laptop that has the wrong keyboard layout, don't try to 
change the keyboard. Just learn to live with it, or plug in an external 
USB keyboard.

I failed to heed this warning. I just spent about 2 hours trying to 
replace the keyboard on a Dell laptop. In the process, I caused 
irreparable damage to the old keyboard, irreparable damage to the new 
keyboard, and also slightly damaged the laptop itself. The laptop has 
gone from having a working keyboard with the wrong layout, to having a 
non-functional keyboard. I'm now dripping wet and utterly frustrated. 
And if I ever see another flexible edge connector, I may just lose my 
sanity.

LFMF!
