What To Do To Replace Laptop Keyboards


by George Teknia


Surveys say that there are statistically 4.3 laptop computers in each and every home in the United States. That means that most people have one of them and some have more than one. Obviously this is an important piece of equipment in the home, whether used for play or for work endeavors. However, it can get damaged and the key caps can come off.

That is an almost necessary occurrence with most laptop computers, and you can take care of it in any one of a number of ways. But a lot of people will just take their laptops down to the local computer repair shop to see about getting it fixed. Once they do that they will pay top dollar and they will also likely be sold services they do not need.

If, instead of going to a local repairer, they send it off to the manufacturer they will get a beautiful brand new keyboard but they may have to manage without their laptop for weeks rather than days.

But if the product is running out of warranty, the replacement will cost $200 or more. Some venturesome people usually attempt for replacement of the keyboard by completely re fixing the laptop. But this task needs some kind of expertise and if not performed with great accuracy, it may lead to destruction of the product as it is very sophisticated in nature. The cost of buying a fresh keyboard is approximately $100.

You may not realize that there are replacement laptop keys that can be purchased when they are damaged. That means they can easily be bought and replaced one key at a time. Actually, that is not only an inexpensive option but it also works quite well because it is highly likely that only one or two keys at a time will break.

In such cases, it is advisable to replace the keys individually without wasting much time and effort. By making use of the laptop keyboard key repair kits available at less than $5, individual users can reassemble the defective keys without going anywhere.

Whether you have roommates who got hold of your laptop during a party and damaged the keys, or you have kids or pets or angry spouses in your house you will never have to worry again. Even should you happen to spill cigarette ashes or crumbs, you will not get upset because you know you can do your own replacement of keys.

Computer repairers will recommend a full keyboard replacement each time, possibly trying to baffle the owner with technical jargon, simply because they make more profit that way. The mark up on changing a key or two isn't worth it for them. By knowing how simple it is to fix a broken key yourself you will not only save money but you won't have to go without your laptop for days or possibly weeks. We have all come to rely on our laptops and are lost without them!
