If you have ever organized a meal on your laptop or cooking near your laptop (there are some), most likely, after these events, your laptop refused to work. Maybe it works, but something got under the key from food. In order to pull out a particle of your former food from under the key, you need to disassemble the keyboard or remove only the key.
Necessary
Laptop keyboard, key removal tool (any thin and non-sharp)
Instructions
Step 1
In order to start cleaning the keyboard buttons, you need to remove the keyboard. Most laptop keyboards are disassembled with keys. In order not to make mistakes later during assembly, it is best to take a snapshot of your keyboard or a photocopy. Any key on a laptop keyboard consists of several parts:
- key pad;
- lift keys;
- spring element (not present on all keyboards).
Step 2
To quickly complete the process of removing the keys, any thin and non-sharp object can be suitable: a watch screwdriver, a thin awl, a dental hook. The keypad button pad connects to the elevator with latches. Connections can be both mobile and non-mobile. With the help of fixed connections, the key is disconnected from the keyboard case. Typically, this connection is at the bottom of the keyboard button. It is necessary to insert the hook between the fixed joints, focusing on the fact that it passes between the elevator and the platform.
Step 3
Thus, you have removed one button. If you need to do the same with multiple keys, remember to place them. Use your picture or photocopy of the keyboard when reassembling the keyboard buttons.
Step 4
The keys are replaced by a solid snap-in. Place the button on the intended place and push it down.
