Shout out to URTechDotCa who was the only reason I could do this without losing my mind.

    I prefer to just use a rubber mat. As you take the screws out I put them in the orientation of where they came out of the laptop/phone. Much quicker for me and you can mindlessly do it without any wonder of where screws went. Basically just looks like a screw map when your done, then resemble in reverse. This image shown appears to have torn down a lot more than needed for just the key board though, but some devices do have weird quirks. But why would a screen ever need to come off the clamshell for a keyboard replacement? (Unless it’s like a 2012 MacBook)

      Yeah those can work too. I’ve just had experience with a table being bumped, screw falls to floor, the demons under the floor steal the screw, laptop is now short a screw
