Best way to re-attach keyboard after repasting G73JH GPU?

The left most tab of the keyboard on my G73JH, the one just above the ESC key, has begun to pop out approximately once per day. I plan to take the keyboard off anyway so that I can re-paste the GPU. But I am wondering how to re-attach the keyboard after disassembling my G73JH as demonstrated in the YouTube video produced by BToTech1, namely, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp90M_N6dzs. According to the man in the video, the keyboard "has to be repaired". But no instructions are provided for reassembling the laptop. And I have not found any instructions elsewhere. Now I understand that the process is reverse, for the most part. (Duh.) But I expect the bond between the foil underneath keyboard and the underurface to be weaker than before if simply replaced. (Post-It notes eventually cease to stick, for example.) And the popping out problem suggests to me that the excessive heat inside the case has already warped the surfaces or weakened the fixative. So, I am starting a new thread to ask those among you who have re-pasted your own GPU: how did you "repair" your keyboard (and how you would do it better if you had to repeat the process)? Did you purchase more super-sticky double sided tape or just reuse what ASUS provided? If so, where did you buy it? Note: I intend to use a ceramic knife while removing the keyboard minimize the amount of "ripping" required to break the seal. Thanks for your time .

 

You don't need to repair it if you removed it carefully, but if you ripped the foil off or bent the keyboard, then it would need a quick fix. In the video it is done a bit carelessly. It's better to keep it pried up with an object while you work across the tabs, and then stick your hand in and work away the tape, instead of ripping it off.

The tab on the chassis is likely pushed in from being bent, you can probably bend it back a little and make it keep the keyboard in place.

I reused the tape and it still stuck more than I cared for, it was just as hard to remove the second time as the first. If you remove it multiple times it may start to degrade -- but all it does is prevent a tiny amount of flex. The tape isn't really all that functional.

 

In the past, I've used carpet tape every time I've needed super strong double sided tape.

Using it has a downside - it's much more adhesive than you'd expect.
