Keyboards are easy to change in most laptops, just be easy when installing the new one... don't press any keys down at an odd angle or the keypads will come off! You will need a precision screw driver set... usually used to service watches and small electronics. Tiger Direct sells them. Nothing fancy, run about $8. The parts manual for your PC or laptop with have the schematic which shows you the parts, study it carefully to determine which screws hold the pieces to remove the bezel that surounds the upper part of the keyboard, just under the screen. There are a few small screws there. The keyboard in then extracted towards the screen and an angle, disconnect the ribbon connector for it as soon as you can get a little access to remove it. It just slides out with a little pressure, don't tug on the ribbon cable or you can break the connector. Put the new one in the reverse order and replace the bezel.
