Repairing the keyboard correctly

• Work only with a de-energized device. Remove the battery before carrying out any work.
• The design of the keyboard is usually the same on all models, so to put everything in its place - this is not the most difficult to repair.
• Do not apply a lot of force during the repair, otherwise - risking something to break.

The key

fell off The key cover fell off? Do not go to the service center, because you will laugh there, although if you are in doubt at all, then, of course, this will be the only solution. The whole repair process is only to return the key to its place. The portable device has small dimensions, so the fastening of the key is also minimized. It has small latches and grooves, which can be disengaged if pressed lightly.

Putting the

button in place Let's get down to the restoration work:

1. Inspect carefully the fallen off part and the keyboard itself. If you do not see any debris or defects, then the task is the simplest.
2. On the cover of the key are two slots and two latches. On the keyboard there should be an elevator with two ledges and two locks. Take the key, place it in its place and lightly press it until it clicks.
3. For high-quality fixing, you must first act on the bottom, and then on the top. If you did everything correctly, the key will take its place in comfort.

Dropped a space

It happens that the key "escapes" the key "space", "Enter" or "Shift".For such cases, operations will be slightly more. All these keys are equipped with a stabilizer, which evenly distributes the pressure. Stabilizer is the most common piece of hard wire, fixed on the inside of the key. This wire has two ends that need to be inserted into special connectors on the keyboard that are located on both sides of the elevator fasteners. Then the lid is placed on its rightful place, slightly pressed against it in the same order and fixed.

How to repair a laptop keyboard, if both the lid and the elevator fell out? The task has become slightly more complicated, but do not get scared.

lifted out As it was said before, the lid is attached to the elevator. If the elevator is disconnected with the fasteners, then we will get a two-piece construction.

This incident is also hard to call a breakdown, rather, it looks like a designer for adults. It is intuitively clear that you need to return the elevator to the place, and only then the lid. Do not forget to separate them. The fastening of the elevator is usually made of a metal part with two holes on top and one wide at the bottom. Often they are deformed, then before repair it is necessary to straighten them.

Important! If you decide to straighten the fasteners, do not use too much force, as you can bend the entire structure.

If the fasteners are in order, then proceed to the installation of the components:

• The elevator has a hole in which it is necessary to enter a wide eyelet. The part needs to be corrected and lowered to join the small ears with the corresponding windows.
• Everything should be installed easily. If the key with the elevator is not amenable, then it's in the fasteners or the wrong location. Correct the situation and try again.

The key has received a defect

Repair of the laptop key is required only in those cases when the keyboard is attached with something hard. Cover from such actions can disperse cracks. The simplest method of solving a problem is to find a new identical detail. But it is not always possible to find what you want.

If suddenly the cracks are insignificant and the lid does not fall apart from them, then we take the plastic glue in our hands and grease it so that it is fastened together. Gluing should be very carefully, rubbing evenly over the surface area.

Important! Do not overdo it with glue, as there is a possibility of increasing the size of the key.

There is one more sophisticated way - to take the cover from another key of the same keyboard. You can take "~" or another rarely used button. But there is one significant drawback - you will have to get used to the new visual layout. Both of these methods help to solve the problem temporarily. It is better to get the same lid.

Breakdown of

Was the cover, elevator or fastener broken? We hurry to upset you - these parts are not subject to repair. It is worth buying a replacement in the service center or other specialized store on the technology.

Important! If you write a diploma or do a large amount of urgent work, then there is no time for such actions, so we have already shared the option using the key that is least used. Entire mounts allow you to return the cover to the place, even if it has cracked.

In no way return the broken fasteners in place. If you decide to use glue, then you have to change a few more keys. The best option is to start looking for identical counterparts.

Important! The keyboard will have to be changed if the metal fasteners on which the elevator sits are damaged. Here, no soldering, glue, or other compounds will help you.

It happens that the keyboard is like working, but does not behave properly. Here it's not about the buttons and fasteners, but in the mud that accumulates between the keys well, very quickly. If you are a lover of tea or coffee at the computer, then be ready for such tricks. Have you already filled the keyboard? Then it urgently needs to be disassembled and cleaned, but if you are late, you will have to look for a new one.

But it happens that one button just sinks and does not return to its original position. The matter is most likely in the elevator itself or under the lid. We disassemble the keyboard, remove the blockage, wipe the dust, dry it and check it again. Most often the simplest cleaning can solve such problems.

Thanks to this article, you were convinced that not everything can always be as critical as you imagined. And even if you need to fix the keyboard on the laptop, and very urgently, sometimes it is quite possible to do it yourself.
