Anyone ever change bad laptop keyboard?
I picked up a laptop for my cross country move last year, and it seems already the keyboard is bad. The keys are clean as can be, but the "9" seems to stick although its not really "stuck" it prints out 9's across screen and won't stop. Ive heard this is bad keyboard...
any advice? |
sometimes the 9 wont work, and if it does it will print 9's infinitely
|
look on ebay
|
I heard its not that hard to do.
|
Go to a service center and replace it. Somehow I poured on my laptop a cup of tea. It took about 5 minutes to a service guy to replace it with a new one.

I had a problem with my laptop's keyboard last week. I solved it by taking a vacuum cleaner over it.
Just be careful that you don't suck any of the keys in (I had one come off and caught it just before it entered the hose). |

I did it two years ago. Seriously, if it's something *I* can do, it's pathetically simple. Took about 10 minutes.
|
if you swap one out, be carefult removing it as they are usually held on my little plastic clips. Just google your model and keyboard replacement and you will prolly find out all the info you need.
