As long as you don't jerk anything out you will be fine. This was actually not a hard thing to do so don't let it scare you.
Something was shorting out to cause the shut downs. For those that do not know, the keyboard and power button are connected (once peace) so I am sure thats the reason for the shut downs. Took about an hour and.the Macbook is like new. To get the to the point, I go the new keyboard in.
So I am thinking wow, it would really be hard even with a big liquid spill for the liquid to reach the logic board. Once I got everything out I found that the keyboard from the inside is covered with a black plastic cover. I bought a new one on amazon for $20 without the backlight since mine was still working. So now it was for the challenging mission. So I bought a new aftermarket one for $30 but no fix. I was hoping that since it still had the original better that maybe thats why it would shut down. However, that was a hard fix so 1st thing I did was a new battery. At this point I was suspicious that something isn't right with the keyboard which might be the source of the shut downs. Another odd thing is that after holding the shift, control and option button (not the power button) it would reset it self like I did and SMC and then I would hit the power button or any key and it would turn on. Other times it would shut down with no warning. What was odd though was that most times when it was on it would open the window that pops up when you hold down on the power button and then shut down on its own. The number keys would not work and they typed letters instead. Sometimes it would stay on for hours and other times it would power off before it would even boot up. Indeed the it would turn on and then power off. I installed a new SSD and got it to power on. The issue was that it would not stay powered on according to the seller due to a liquid spill so I took my chances. So, I bought this 2011 macbook pro on craigslist for $100.
