Most people don’t
think about laptop repair until they actually began to suffer a malfunction.
Perhaps you were typing at your laptop’s keyboard some night and suddenly
noticed that the keys on your keyboard began to stick, resulting in lines of
characters appearing in the middle of your text. This can frustrating.
If this has happened to you,
there’s no need to worry about it. Replacing a laptop’s keyboard may not be as
easy as replacing a desktop PC’s keyboard, but it’s not that difficult either.
You may not have
known of this before (or perhaps you did), but most of the electronics goods on
the market today are all made in China. This means that no matter what company
claims credit for your keyboard, it still means that it was made according to
the same manufacturing norms. This means that all keyboards use more or less
the same principles, and therefore are all relatively easy to replace.
The first step in
laptop repair is to turn off the power. I know it seems rather silly to mention
this, but, on the other hand you’d be surprised at how many people try to
repair their laptops without powering down the devices first. So make sure you
not only switch off your laptop, but also unplug the AC power cable as well.
Another thing it
would be nice to have would be the user manual for your laptop. User manuals
are not something that manufacturers keep secret, and it is possible to
download most service and repair manuals right off the manufacturer’s website.
Since, as I said earlier,
most of the keyboards are made in China, just about any user manual can help
you with repairing your laptop. Of course it’s best to find the manual that
deals with your particular brand of keyboard, but if you can’t, just about any
manual for a current make of keyboard will do.
Now you need a
replacement. Ebay is a great place to buy a replacement for your keyboard.
You’re your replacement arrives, all you have to do is fit it to your laptop.
There’s a panel underneath your laptop dedicated to the keyboard. This is the
panel you have to remove. You’ll find a trim piece situated in between the
keyboard and the screen, you’ll need to remove this very carefully. Be careful
not to damage the clear plastic. After this carefully disconnect the keyboard and
replace it with the new one. That’s all it takes to replace a laptop’s
keyboard, and most laptop repair jobs are just as easy.
Best Regards
