The laptop keyboard is designed for long-term use. And this is not surprising, because almost 60% of the commands sent by the user to the computer's processor are carried out by pressing buttons. However, the durability of even the sturdiest laptop keyboard has its limits. If one or more buttons are out of order, you can contact the service, or try to cope with the problem yourself.
Necessary
- - glue;
- - plasticine;
- - epoxy resin.
Instructions
Step 1
Before starting, try to independently figure out the cause of the breakdown. It is also necessary to carefully examine the entire keyboard so as not to miss the plastic debris formed due to breakage. Small pieces of plastic can spread over the entire area of the front panel of the laptop and cause another unpleasant incident.
Step 2
Examine the button that needs urgent repair. If it just broke from a blow or too hard pressing, then you need to carefully separate it and try to glue the parts with molecular glue. Do not perform this operation directly on a laptop. One careless movement - and the glue that got on the keyboard contact scheme will disable the entire computer, after which it will have to be carried to the service without fail. And repairing a keyboard damaged in this way is very expensive.
Step 3
After examining the button and determining the material from which its base is made, proceed to diagnosing the state of the contact, which is responsible for timely pressing and transferring data to the computer system while using the keyboard. If the button itself cannot be restored, the contact must be carefully separated from the base, then cleaned and wiped with a dry cloth.
Step 4
Purchase a new button from a specialty store and replace the old one that has collapsed. If you can't find a similar button, you can make it yourself. To do this, create an exact copy-shape of the button for the laptop keyboard from plasticine, and then fill it with epoxy. Before the resin dries, you need to carefully and quickly attach the contact to the new button and wait for a while.
Step 5
Sand the top surface with a fine-grained emery paper to avoid unevenness.
