I got a cheap OEM keyboard ($18 free shipping) from eBay dealer. The keyboard was slightly bowed from mail handling but it is flexible metal and straightened out okay (but is still slightly bowed)I couldn't find any instructions on how to replace the keyboard for this specific model.
On some laptops you need to snap off the bezel, and I started to do this on the 7736z but it was difficult - a couple of the plastic fasteners broke. Fortunately I could snap it back in okay even with the broken fasteners.
Although the bezel was loose when I finally popped the keyboard out I don't think it is necessary - it seems like all you need to do is the method is shown on this YouTube video for an Aspire 1:

After getting the keyboard out you can pull the cable out without opening the connector but you will have to flip up the top of the connector to open it and put the new cable in.
Slide the bottom part into the clamps (side near you) first then pry the keyboard down at each tab until tab snaps over keyboard. I powered up and all the keys seemed to be working correctly.
