"Three of the screws are dummy screws, only screwed into retainers. They are not holding anything in and can be left in place for simplicity." not true for me (my version have graphic card) and this screws have to be removed to open your labtop. also ssd m.2 space dont look like pictures displayed.
To replace keyboard you have to remove like at least 20 plastic rivet. you can still mount a new keyboard whitouth a new palmrest and keep broken rivet and the result is still good.
Only 6 screws have to be removed - the central one on the hinge area can remain.

As Bob noted in January, the top center screw doesn't do anything and doesn't need removing. As I found today during my repair, that is true but also the two bottom central screws are also unnecessary. If you check the photos in step 3, in the bottom of the battery near the screws circled in red, there are cutouts where the screws would go, but there is no mounting points on the bottom of the palmrest assembly where the screws go, so it was the case in the device photographed for this guide in the first place as well, the original guide author must simply not have noticed. (I did not notice at first, either, until reassembly found me questioning where the screws go.)
I have edited this step to reflect as such. It also means if you lose one of the important screws accidentally, you have three replacements that aren't holding anything in that are good to go.
Hope this helps.
