These instructions will help you to remove and replace faulty keyboards on various laptops, but if your keyboard is missing just a key, it’s not necessary to replace the whole keyboard. What you have to do, is to look for the specific key that is missing and replace it on the keyboard. Follow these steps only if you want to completely replace your faulty laptop keyboard with a new one.
Step 1
Begin the process of removing the faulty laptop keyboard by inserting a small Flathead screwdriver under the keyboard bezel and carefully lift it up, then use your fingers to continue releasing the plastic latches, until the keyboard bezel is completely removed from the laptop.When doing this you have to be careful because on some models the keyboard bezel might be connected to the motherboard, so if you accidentally pull the cable connecting the bezel to the motherboard, please connect it back. In this case it is not necessary to disconnect the keyboard bezel from the motherboard in order to remove and replace the keyboard. What you have to do is just put the keyboard bezel aside so that you can access the keyboard screws.
Step 2
Remove the screws (about two or three depending on the laptop model) securing the keyboard at the top and carefully lift up the keyboard from the laptop case.
Step 3
The keyboard is connected to the motherboard by a flat ribbon cable, unlock the connector, to unlock the connector carefully move the connector lock 2 - 4 millimeters up and after that pull the keyboard cable from the connector.
Step 4
The faulty keyboard is now completely detached from the motherboard
Step 5
To install the new keyboard, just follow the above mentioned steps in the reverse order.
