Hello folks!
I need to replace the keyboard because the original one got wet.
I have an Asus laptop that is similar to the one in this video:

(Sorry for the video, i couldn't find good video in English, and the language in the description is not familiar to me too.)
The keyboard is connected to the top cover via small plastic pins that are melted on top. I already disassembled the keyboard and broke most of those plastic pins that hold the original keyboard.
How do i attach the new keyboard to the top cover of the laptop (or as it is also called - the palm rest)?
Using the soldering gun (as it is in the video) is not an option because i already broke most of the plastic pins.
Another common option is to use a hot glue. But some people don't like it because the melting point of the hot glue is quite low. The hot glue starts melting at about 79.4°C (according to google search). And the laptop can get quite hot, specifically during the summer under heavy load. Another downpoint for the hot glue is that it is not durable. When the time goes on, and due to the small vibrations that occur during typing on the keyboard, the glue may get unstuck (unglued, peeled off).
Should i use super glue? The melting point of the super glue is 165°C (according to google search). But then probably it won't be able to be removed again.
Another option is to buy a new top cover that has a new keyboard already attached in it. Is this the best option?
What do you think is the best approach for attaching such keyboard? Which approach would give the best experience while using the keyboard after that?
Thank you for your time!
PS: damn those no-screw technologies.
Edit: Probably I've had to make this post in the "Laptop Tech Support" section?
