How do I replace my laptop keyboard?

[myshelle]

I have about 13 keys missing from my laptop, complaments of my 1 year old niece. They have little pieces missing so I can not pop them back on. I looked on e-bay and I can replace the keyboard for cheap. But I live in a small town with only one computer shop who said they would charge 100 dollars which seems expensive for something that seems so simple.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to replace the keyboard. Or should I pay the hundred dollars and have the computer store do it?

I have a Acer Aspire 4520

Thank you

A Service manual download apparently exists here in rar format - http://www.zimbio.com/Laptop+Reviews/articles/1235/Acer+Aspire+4520+Service+Manual - I would download to a desktop folder you make and virus scan throroughly before unpacking.
