It's definitely melted plastic rivets holding it to a plastic framing<br>
that everything else screws into.  I really don't want to start<br>
cutting into plastic.  (here's a video of someone cutting and<br>
glue-gunning in a replacement:<br>

so I'll look around and see who best to order that from.  There's so<br>
many models and sub-models that I need to be very careful with which<br>
one I order.<br>
<br>
I tried calling ASUS to see how much they'd charge for a repair and<br>
they want a whopping $540 to just replace the keyboard.<br>
