First post on here and here it goes....
I got a laptop the "A" button now doesn't work. I pryed off the black top to check if any dirt or liquid is under there and cleaned it put it back on and it still doesn't work. I ordered a keyboard for my laptop off ebay. Now how exactly do i take off the old one and put a new one in? Thanks |

First of all welcome to the forums. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be many people here that has experience with laptops and Im sorry I cant be of much help either, especially because I dont own a dell. Replacing some parts in laptops can be a difficult task, but I would suggest you check out the following forums and post that there:
www.notebookreview.com www.notebookforums.com Just go to the dell section of the forums and post your problem and you will get support with your problem a whole lot quicker than Dell or any other place would answer you. There is are lot of people there who are actually more prepared to help than most companys customer service. Good Luck. Have fun here in Trap17!! |

Usually your manual will contain information about how to remove and replace the keyboard. If it isn't in the manual, or you don't have it, then contact the manufacturer and ask how to remove it. Alternatively you can try one of these two methods: Check the bottom of the laptop and see if there is a switch or slider to release the keyboard, just like the ones to remove the battery, CD drive etc. Some laptops just have simple clips next to the keyboard (usually between the F-Keys and the screen) which you just push to take the keyboard out. That's usually on older laptops though.

I have removed and replaced a dell keyboard, all i had to do was un-do the seven screws marked with a "K" the keyboard was then loose, then pull up and back on the ribbon connecting the keyboard, and voala the keyboard is off, to put a new one in just do the steps in reverse.
But i would reccomend talking to the manufatorer, i got a new one for free because it was under warrenty. |
