HP Elitebook 8460p Keyboard Replacement

はじめに

If the keyboard is bad or malfunctioning, use this guide to replace the keyboard or check the keyboard connections on the inside of the laptop.

This guide requires a bit of prying to unsnap the keyboard from the laptop chassis. Following the instructions, pry carefully and do not force anything to avoid breaking any components.

The keyboard has two electrical connectors that attach to the motherboard. Before touching the connectors, make sure you are properly grounded to avoid damaging the motherboard itself.

To complete this guide you will need a Phillips #0 screw driver; an ESD strap; and a thin, sturdy plastic pry tool.
