not with the acer nitro 5. I've had to assist in replacing a few. it requires you to take the entire board(and the 2 sub boards) out, which isn't hard, but also if the system has never been worked on before may require you to pry or grind some locktite style plastic pegs off to detach the keyboard from the actual case which risks you actually damaging the case as well.
It's super tedious. the 20 minute videos you can find on youtube are either cut or in 3 or 4x speed. the actual process can take a bit cause theres a lot of screws holding the case and boards in.
When compared to the EEE Pc's or Dell Inspirons which were a simple remove the battery, pop the keyboard out with a flathead, and unhook then run in reverse. It's super difficult
