Thanks! This was helpful in removing an additional cap so that I could see what I was getting wrong on the white hinge piece. My hinge had come apart into two pieces and I needed the lower hinge posts to be below the square frame part, so that it would pivot around the center posts. Also, the divot point at the top of the part had to be pointing towards the computer while the hinge posts had to be on top of the square frame to clip onto the cap. There were cavities in the square frame for the cap pivot points to have room around the top pivot hinges. Thankfully, the square frame had enough flexibility to pull it apart and get the center hinge points to go in one side at a time.
This was soooo very helpful. My kid spilled a baby Coke bottle on his new laptop immediately upon opening it on Christmas morning. Joy to the World! Does this same process apply for cleaning one of the function keys? His F12 key is sticky and I'm afraid to try this without know for sure that the layout is the same. Thanks!
I watched several times...helpful video, but it's missing several key points I'm looking for: 1) Do you turn off the PC before making this repair or ok to leave it on? 2) The video shows replacement of the exact same key & retainer clip?? Why would you do that? Aren't you replacing with a new one? 3) Shouldn't you try some Multi-purpose duster spray first, after removing the key/clip, to see if any debris is clogging the key?? Then replace and retry, before putting it back together? Good vid overall, but I need a little more detail, per above. Thanks!
Ok, so in light of my comments above: First, I shut off my Yogo. Then popped off the #/3 key, per the video. However, instead of popping off the retainer clip, I sprayed the entire key area (using std spray duster), under the clip and around it, and reinstalled the key. All works fine now! Again, with all respect to the author, I would try my method first, before buying a new key or keyboard. If this doesn't work, then purchase your key/clip.
With any computer repair, you should turn off your computer. Thought that was commonly known but perhaps I should still add it in videos... This is a video showing how to uninstall a key in the event you need to salvage one from another keyboard and then showing how to install a key in the event your broke and you are replacing it with a new one you purchased. Using the same key for the video accomplished both things.
Is it possible to replace a retainer clip? One of my keys has come off, and it won't snap onto the retainer clip securely, no matter how carefully I try. It sort of clips on, but then it falls off again. You mentioned ordering new keys in the FAQ but I wonder if you can order new retainer clips. Thank you!
Hi thanks so much for the video! My retainer clip is broken (the white thing underneath), would I be able to use the one from the replacement keyboard, as well as the actual key cover?
Hey nice video, I have a few questions, 1.)how do I go about replacing keys from a German keyboard to the standard English layout? 2.) Will the method shown above affect the keyboard backlight?
Any help for the smaller keys? My daughter has pulled up the insert and delete keys and we are having a difficult time getting them back on... plus, it looks like one of the plastic brackets is stuck to the back of the top key piece
You can separate the hinge clip from the key cap as seen here using a small flat tool. you can then install them again as seen here assuming none of the components are damaged.
Hi there, thank you SO much for this detailed tutorial! Unfortunately I lost the up arrow key on my yoga 6, but its about half the size of the letter keys. I have purchased a replacement keyboard but as you stated, am looking to transplant the arrow from the replacement onto my damaged device. Would this process look the same for that smaller key? Thanks so much for any advice you may have!
Thank you so much for this video! I successfully repaired my T and M keys. Although what I wish this video would also have is a how-to part on replacing/cleaning the rubber cap as this was my problem
Hi I do have the following product: 82BGCTO1WW - Yoga 9i 14. Is the same procedure for cleaning the keys? Furthermore, can you link the video in which you clean keys like: space, enter, shift and so on... ? Thank you in advance, Rocco
A bunch of keys that I use a lot. Slowly stopped working. Or work every 10th try. I think they are worn out? Took one off from watching your video. Looks fine. Is it under the keys. Worn out how it registers? Any way to fix that? Computer not that old. just over 2 years. Just use it a lot for work.

Spilled coffee on my keyboard do I need to remove the keys 1 by 1 to dry and or clean. Or don't bother. With a French onset keyboard does that mean the keyboard is sealed off from the motherboard and other electronic components that can be damaged by moisture entering the case through the keyboard?
I have 8 keys that popped off (7, 8, 9, Y, U, I, O, J). I've tried pushing the cap back on but No Joy. Do you have a recommended place for replacement parts OR a preferred vendor (Philly or South Jersey) to do the replacement?
Can you do a video on how to install a large key (backspace)? It has 2 metal rods that attach at the top and bottom as well as the 2 plastic "springs".. Thanks
Hey I am using a Lenovo ideapad and it uses the same keyboard. I have played many hours of games and now my W key sometimes falls out and the retainer is still on the cap. What do I do?
Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
3 of my keys are not working. I dryed it completely, but it's a Lenovo Yoga C940, shouldn't it be supposed to be water resistant? is there anything else I can do apart from buying a new Keyboard?
1. Nothing on a computer is water resistant unfortunately :( After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry? 2. Do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga L13 model, and the 3/# key fell off, leaving the hinge behind. It doesn't seem to snap back into place, and I bought a replacement key that came with the cover and hinge together. Are those two pieces glued together for my model? It seems to me that I should pry loose the hinge of the old key and just snap this whole thing on to the spring in the middle. Does that sound right to you?
Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
On my Lenovbo 9 everything looks as in your video. My keys look just like yours, nothing seems broken. Yet when I try to put the key cap back on, it just does not attach to the hinges. Is there a trick to it? How do I make it snap on?
If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would disassemble the key as seen here in this video and inspect for damage. If there is no damage, install the key. If there is damage, replace the key. Would you like help locating a key? If so, what is the brand and model for your computer?
I took the caps and clips off and while they are dirty, the remaining rubber spring/button doesn't type the character either. Does that mean dirt under the key was not the issue, but rather mechinical failure?
1. After reinstalling the key, assuming none of the components are damaged, does the key feel like its working correctly or does it feel like something is mechanically wrong with it? 2.

@@PC_Monkey Yeahthey feel like any of the other keys - nice and snappy. It's concering the I O and P keys, which did work, but then just stopped working. The backlight for these keys does still work, however. I guess I'll try removing and reseating the cable before buying a replacement, maybe just one of the pins is just not properly seated.
Thank, great help for replacing keys. My problem is that the G & H don't work on an ultralight Yoga 630. A couple of times we just flexed the computer a bit and it worked again for a while. Now, no dice. What part of the assembly actually actuates the key? Is it the rubber button?

Hi, 0:35 I have a Lenovo Yoga 14iTL5 that I ruined some of the keys with liquid glass cleaner. Does that mean I have to purchase the keyboard with palm rest? Or could I just get away with just purchasing the keyboard alone? Thanks.
If your keyboard is held into the palmrest with screws, you can easily replace just the keyboard. If its a french inset keyboard and not easily removed, you would be better replacing the palmrest as a replacement keyboard may not hold in place very well
I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
My Lenovo Yoga 6 has its right arrow key snapped out, I did everything as instructed in your video, but the top thing just won't sit right, kindly help me fix it, a quick response would be much appreciated!

Hi, I have a Lenovo idepad 330s 15IKB. The keys in the region of P, 0 work only sometimes. Can it be fixed by only replacing the keys or do I need to replace the entire keyboard?
I know.... I should not be anywhere near a laptop repair site but.... fools rush in. When resetting the retainer clips, how do I know if I have it inside-out or left to right? I have a Lenovo Yoga530 with the Y key not working. I managed to get it out, but cannot reassemble it. Nothing snaps in place and now I look at the key cap in remorse
I spilled mango juice on the keyboard and is becoming little sticky. Can I wash the keyboard from outside ? Will water go the electronic or the electronic part is sealed below the keys?
You most likely cannot properly clean the keys without removing them. Water is not a good idea to clean with as it can easily damage components. I would remove the keys that are sticky and clean with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, being careful not to get things too wet.
I have a new Yoga » C740-14IML, and the left-arrow/Home key came out sticking to my finger... Instead of only the plastic parts, the key has a staple-like metal piece attached to it. Trying to slide the metal 'legs' into their slots, and pushing down on the key, it fits in place but wouldn't click in nor stay connected. Any idea how that should work? Should the metal part be attached firmly and then the key snapped to it...? I appreciate any help... Lenovo labs claims this is not covered by their fancy customer-site 36-months warranty, although no force was applied and this is clearly a manufacturing defect. LENOVO, DISAPPOINTING!
I have a Lenovo yoga, I think my son broke the retainer clip because I have tried everything you have said and the key won’t stay on the keyboard, only on the key. I can’t get it to “clip” into the actual keyboard. I have tried both sides because I can’t tell on your video if I have the right side, but I definitely don’t hear any clicking in place. What is my next step.
Hi! The letter q randomly types itself over and over and it won't stop no matter what I do. How do I check for damages? How do I know if it's a hardware or a software problem? The key seems to be pretty intact. Really hope you could notice this! Thank you so much . Great video. :)
This video is a tutorial on how to replace a key. If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html.
Yes, you can get inside your computer to see if the keyboard has been unplugged. Would you like help with that? If so, what brand and model computer do you have?
Hi, I have a yoga c740 15". Recently there's a lot of resistance when pressing the A key compared to the rest of the keyboard. Do you think removing the key to look at the parts underneath would be a good idea? I haven't been able to find any dirt/debris that would be causing the problem.
Yes, if there is physical resistance, then most likely it needs to be cleaned. Either some debris under there or the hinge clip itself needs to be cleaned.
If any component to the assembly breaks, you usually have to replace the assembly. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
I need help! I have a lenovo ideapad 100s- 11IBY (the battery cannot be removed). I got it 2 years ago and it was working perfectly but 2 days ago it started telling me that it's plugged in but not charging and the battery percentage is at 85% and is not decreasing nor increasing. I called a "specialist" to fix it and after 2 days of him "trying" he told me he was unable to fix it. I'm having a panic attack because i have an online exam on Thursday and i don't know what to do. Can you please give me a few suggestions on how i could possibly fix it myself?
My problem is with the arrow key the up one ⬆️ , i tried putting it back it made a click sound but one side is down while the other is up and it would lift up like opening a door , not sure if you understand what I mean I'm not the best at describing but if you do please let me know what can I do to fix it please
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
Hi, I have Lenovo Yogo 920 which has recently had a problem where the E key will generate strings of eeeeeeeeeeee without the key even being fully depressed, just very gently moving your finger over the surface of the key causes the eeeeeeeeee to repeat in any text box. This is obvisously annoying and a problem when entering passwords. Have you any idea what could be causing this and what solutions can you suggest, the laptop is only five years old and started doing it about 6 months ago. All the other keys need to be fully depressed before they generate their letter. Thanks in adavnce for your help.
Hi PC Monkey, I have a Lenovo Legion 5. My letter (N key) was kinda loose and when I pressed down the side key (N key) its kinda dislocate. What should I do? :( , also does this video (Lenovo Yoga Keyboard Key) has the same way to fix the keys in the Lenovo Legion 5 Keyboards? appreciate your help :)
Most keys will be designed the same way with slight differences to the parts that make them incompatible with each other but make installing them basically the same. You can reinstall the key as seen here assuming its not damaged.

1. This is a tutorial on how to remove and install a key. Do you need to clean yours? Is there a lot of debris there? If so, you could use a blower, a small vacuum, a rag with cleaner or a small tooth brush, etc. 2. Do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?
Thanks for posting these, it's nice to try to work through this problem myself. I have a Lenovo Yoga C740 purchased this summer. My retainer clip is still attached to the key cap and seems pretty securely attached. Should I pull the retainer clip off of the key cap? It won't snap back on as it is. I can send the computer in under warranty but that seems pretty silly for just a broken key.
Is it only me or did he actually leave a mark from where he inserted the screwdriver? (I would rather use some hard plastic anyways.) overall it is a really great video and is very helpful but I've heard some youtubers suggest to not use metal on electronic (I know it's not some electrical thing but the main thing is scratches). Some do use metal anyways
1. Do the key or keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like something is mechanically wrong with them? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Overheating, liquid spill, Windows update, etc?
My key was lower than the others and was sticking so I followed this tutorial and to the key off and found that my rubber spring is broken off. How do I replace this
There isn't really a good way to reattach those. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.
Can you change the place of the letter cap and make it a AZERTY keyboard? I have the Thinkpad P1 Gen 4, with QUERTY keyboard and would very much like to have the AZERTY keyboard.
I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
where do we find to buy those plastic clips under the key? Inner small plastic clips is removed from the outer clips. It seems nothing broken but i cannot merge them.

@@PC_Monkey Thanks i realize that i broke the inner pin of hinge so it does not fit well with the outer plastic and the key also. There are 2 small pin between inner and outer plastic hinge just on the middle egde of them. I was searching for right hinge i think this will be fit for yoga slim 7: www.laptopkeys.com/KeyboardKeys.php/Lenovo/Yoga%20710/710-14ISK
Hi, after I removed the keycap, I tried to snap it back on and it just wont stay on no matter what I do. It's in a state where I can remove it by hands because of how it is not snapped in
If the key does not stay in place, then its not installed properly, or its damaged, or its not orientated correctly. The trick is to find which one it is. Best thing to do is to remove another key cap and look at the still installed hinge clip. Compare that to yours to make sure its installed correctly, not damaged, and orientated correctly.
I have an Asus S400 laptop. The power and battery indicators are the only ones that light (battery indicator when plugged in). The laptop is unresponsive to all methods in your videos about the issue. Please help.
This is a key replacement video lol. It sounds like your computer wont turn on. If that is true, then start your troubleshooting here; ruclips.net/video/_MOe71kBPOY/видео.html
My A and Z key don't work... I removed the top and cleaned it but the buttons give no response. The retainer clips are fine, as are the metal brackets. I even got a replacement keyboard but it's not possible to replace on the Yoga 720... The housing is hard pinned to the top case. I would hate to have to get a new laptop just because of two keys. It's still a great computer after several years
Is there something physically wrong with the key / keys or are they mechanically working fine? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Make sure the computer is off and let it dry. Try taking it apart as much as possible to let each component dry. At least a couple days. Then try to reassemble and turn on.
hello my the plastic part of my key broke after I replace it I ordered a new key but all the plastic part is inside the new key , how can it take it out without breaking the plastic?

Hi, I spilled my tea(with sugar) on the keyboard of my yoga 6 lap. Though everything's working fyn, some keys, those at bottom are harder to press now. What should I do?
This is a video tutorial on how to replace a key that is damaged. Since some keys cannot be purchased loose, I take off the key so you can see how to do so safely if your taking it off another keyboard to install on yours. If your key is not working, but is not physically damaged, then refer to this video instead; ruclips.net/video/wqrchfpdJ_w/видео.html.
They are constructed the same way, just with smaller components. Sometimes too, the retainer clips are sideways so you may be better off sometimes going at it from the top or bottom rather than the sides
I'm having issues, i followed the instructions perfectly and i get the hinge down and it seems attached and then attached the key cap, the key cap sticks to the hinge but not to the board!
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
@@PC_Monkey How do I separate the key cap from the retainer clip? They are attached to each other, but not connected to the actual keyboard. I need to do this step before attempting to reattach it to the keyboard.
White component between the key and keyboard bottom comes of much easier. But changing this white plastic mechanizm was not possible because there was slight difference where the holes were. I did order the keyboard from china.
It should be basically the same as the letter sized keys as its the same size on most computers. Its just a small hinge clip inside. The clip may be a bit different but basically the same
@@PC_Monkey okay, I’ll review that video again. When I first attempted I tried to insert the plastic piece on the key then hooked under the tab. Then when I sent to snap the piece on it detached from the keyboard to the separated piece 🤦
I spilled a drink over my keyboard and now the keys are sticky is I push them, so they have some resistance when I push them and go up slower. How should I clean this?
You can take the key apart as seen here and use a rag and cleaner to clean under it and the components. Be careful to not get it too wet and to let it dry fully before assembly. I like using a 70% Isopropyl Alcohol mix as it dries quick :)

I need help. I have a Dell Inspiron 14 N4050 laptop running on Windows 7. Have been using it for 5 years. But this morning when I went to boot it up, no display, nothing. It turns on then off immediately. It repeated for multiple times until 3 beeps were periodically heard. Tried the static discharge method but it still won't work. And the battery and charger definitely ain't the cause. Any idea how to fix it please? (I'm broke off my ass so I think I'mma take my chance)

hello i know the viedo a year old but i have a differnt issue my key spring isnt broken and but outer one off but the inner one is still contected to the key and i cant pop them in together
The Hinge Clip came apart in two? They fit together with a small plastic pin on the left and right of the inner clip. These fit into holes on the outer clip. To see exactly how the inner clip sits in the outer clip, remove another key cap and copy the clip under it.
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged.

I have not encountered a computer that needed physical keys in my shop, although I know they are out there. I have never worked on those :( I assume you need a key. Perhaps try posting on Lenovo community support sites. See if anyone knows how to handle that.

The X1 yoga gen 3 have an unusual keyboard. Each key have 4 little lugs that pulls them up and down when you fold the screen. If you pull it out like this they will very likely break. Then the key won't retract when you close the screen or when you put it in tablet mode. The whole mechanism will be skewed and click each time you fold the screen. Then the key sticking out will most likely scratch your screen when folded. Not a good Idea. I did it like that and broke it, be smarter then me.
How does this actually repair anything? Yeah it shows you how to take it off and put it on . What I have is a key that I depress the intermittently does not give anything on the keyboard.

Thanks! This was helpful in removing an additional cap so that I could see what I was getting wrong on the white hinge piece. My hinge had come apart into two pieces and I needed the lower hinge posts to be below the square frame part, so that it would pivot around the center posts. Also, the divot point at the top of the part had to be pointing towards the computer while the hinge posts had to be on top of the square frame to clip onto the cap. There were cavities in the square frame for the cap pivot points to have room around the top pivot hinges. Thankfully, the square frame had enough flexibility to pull it apart and get the center hinge points to go in one side at a time.

I watched several times...helpful video, but it's missing several key points I'm looking for: 1) Do you turn off the PC before making this repair or ok to leave it on? 2) The video shows replacement of the exact same key & retainer clip?? Why would you do that? Aren't you replacing with a new one? 3) Shouldn't you try some Multi-purpose duster spray first, after removing the key/clip, to see if any debris is clogging the key?? Then replace and retry, before putting it back together? Good vid overall, but I need a little more detail, per above. Thanks!
Ok, so in light of my comments above: First, I shut off my Yogo. Then popped off the #/3 key, per the video. However, instead of popping off the retainer clip, I sprayed the entire key area (using std spray duster), under the clip and around it, and reinstalled the key. All works fine now! Again, with all respect to the author, I would try my method first, before buying a new key or keyboard. If this doesn't work, then purchase your key/clip.
With any computer repair, you should turn off your computer. Thought that was commonly known but perhaps I should still add it in videos...

Is it possible to replace a retainer clip? One of my keys has come off, and it won't snap onto the retainer clip securely, no matter how carefully I try. It sort of clips on, but then it falls off again. You mentioned ordering new keys in the FAQ but I wonder if you can order new retainer clips. Thank you!
Yes. Usually, key assemblies are sold with the key cap and the retainer clip as a set.

Any help for the smaller keys? My daughter has pulled up the insert and delete keys and we are having a difficult time getting them back on... plus, it looks like one of the plastic brackets is stuck to the back of the top key piece
You can separate the hinge clip from the key cap as seen here using a small flat tool. you can then install them again as seen here assuming none of the components are damaged.
Hi there, thank you SO much for this detailed tutorial! Unfortunately I lost the up arrow key on my yoga 6, but its about half the size of the letter keys. I have purchased a replacement keyboard but as you stated, am looking to transplant the arrow from the replacement onto my damaged device. Would this process look the same for that smaller key? Thanks so much for any advice you may have!
Yes :) The components would just be smaller
Thank you very much❤
Your welcome !! Happy to help :)
Thank you so much for this video! I successfully repaired my T and M keys. Although what I wish this video would also have is a how-to part on replacing/cleaning the rubber cap as this was my problem
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
Hi I do have the following product: 82BGCTO1WW - Yoga 9i 14.
Is the same procedure for cleaning the keys? Furthermore, can you link the video in which you clean keys like: space, enter, shift and so on... ?
Thank you in advance,
Rocco
A bunch of keys that I use a lot. Slowly stopped working. Or work every 10th try. I think they are worn out? Took one off from watching your video. Looks fine. Is it under the keys. Worn out how it registers? Any way to fix that? Computer not that old. just over 2 years. Just use it a lot for work.

Spilled coffee on my keyboard do I need to remove the keys 1 by 1 to dry and or clean. Or don't bother. With a French onset keyboard does that mean the keyboard is sealed off from the motherboard and other electronic components that can be damaged by moisture entering the case through the keyboard?
I have 8 keys that popped off (7, 8, 9, Y, U, I, O, J). I've tried pushing the cap back on but No Joy. Do you have a recommended place for replacement parts OR a preferred vendor (Philly or South Jersey) to do the replacement?
I usually purchase most of my computer parts on sites like Ebay, Amazon, etc. No, I dont live in that area so I cant say. Sry :(
Hi, thanks for the video. any video example for half size keys?
my arrow button on lenovo Yoga 6 is broken, and I like to fixed it.

Hey I am using a Lenovo ideapad and it uses the same keyboard. I have played many hours of games and now my W key sometimes falls out and the retainer is still on the cap. What do I do?
Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
3 of my keys are not working. I dryed it completely, but it's a Lenovo Yoga C940, shouldn't it be supposed to be water resistant? is there anything else I can do apart from buying a new Keyboard?
1. Nothing on a computer is water resistant unfortunately :(
After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?
2. Do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga L13 model, and the 3/# key fell off, leaving the hinge behind. It doesn't seem to snap back into place, and I bought a replacement key that came with the cover and hinge together. Are those two pieces glued together for my model? It seems to me that I should pry loose the hinge of the old key and just snap this whole thing on to the spring in the middle. Does that sound right to you?
Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
On my Lenovbo 9 everything looks as in your video. My keys look just like yours, nothing seems broken. Yet when I try to put the key cap back on, it just does not attach to the hinges. Is there a trick to it? How do I make it snap on?
If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would disassemble the key as seen here in this video and inspect for damage. If there is no damage, install the key. If there is damage, replace the key. Would you like help locating a key? If so, what is the brand and model for your computer?
I took the caps and clips off and while they are dirty, the remaining rubber spring/button doesn't type the character either. Does that mean dirt under the key was not the issue, but rather mechinical failure?

@@PC_Monkey Yeahthey feel like any of the other keys - nice and snappy. It's concering the I O and P keys, which did work, but then just stopped working. The backlight for these keys does still work, however.
I guess I'll try removing and reseating the cable before buying a replacement, maybe just one of the pins is just not properly seated.
Thank, great help for replacing keys. My problem is that the G & H don't work on an ultralight Yoga 630. A couple of times we just flexed the computer a bit and it worked again for a while. Now, no dice. What part of the assembly actually actuates the key? Is it the rubber button?

Hi, 0:35 I have a Lenovo Yoga 14iTL5 that I ruined some of the keys with liquid glass cleaner. Does that mean I have to purchase the keyboard with palm rest? Or could I just get away with just purchasing the keyboard alone? Thanks.
If your keyboard is held into the palmrest with screws, you can easily replace just the keyboard. If its a french inset keyboard and not easily removed, you would be better replacing the palmrest as a replacement keyboard may not hold in place very well
@@PC_Monkey Thanks
Where can i find a single unit of key clip/key hinge at a reasonable price? Please let me know, I've been trying to find it since a while now

Thank you! But what if the white plastic under is in two peaces? One piece in the middle and one on the outside

Hi, I have a Lenovo idepad 330s 15IKB. The keys in the region of P, 0 work only sometimes. Can it be fixed by only replacing the keys or do I need to replace the entire keyboard?
I have same issue.
I know.... I should not be anywhere near a laptop repair site but.... fools rush in.
When resetting the retainer clips, how do I know if I have it inside-out or left to right?
I have a Lenovo Yoga530 with the Y key not working. I managed to get it out, but cannot reassemble it. Nothing snaps in place and now I look at the key cap in remorse
So, I took off the X key cap to comparw it to my broken Y key... now I have two keycaps on my desk looking like orphans
Keys are super tricky :( Took me a long time to get the hang of em
I spilled mango juice on the keyboard and is becoming little sticky. Can I wash the keyboard from outside ? Will water go the electronic or the electronic part is sealed below the keys?
You most likely cannot properly clean the keys without removing them. Water is not a good idea to clean with as it can easily damage components. I would remove the keys that are sticky and clean with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, being careful not to get things too wet.
I have a new Yoga » C740-14IML, and the left-arrow/Home key came out sticking to my finger...
Instead of only the plastic parts, the key has a staple-like metal piece attached to it.
Trying to slide the metal 'legs' into their slots, and pushing down on the key, it fits in place but wouldn't click in nor stay connected.
Any idea how that should work? Should the metal part be attached firmly and then the key snapped to it...?
I appreciate any help... Lenovo labs claims this is not covered by their fancy customer-site 36-months warranty, although no force was applied and this is clearly a manufacturing defect.
LENOVO, DISAPPOINTING!
I have a Lenovo yoga, I think my son broke the retainer clip because I have tried everything you have said and the key won’t stay on the keyboard, only on the key. I can’t get it to “clip” into the actual keyboard. I have tried both sides because I can’t tell on your video if I have the right side, but I definitely don’t hear any clicking in place. What is my next step.
If its damaged then you would need to replace it. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.laptopkeys.com/

Hi, I have a yoga c740 15". Recently there's a lot of resistance when pressing the A key compared to the rest of the keyboard. Do you think removing the key to look at the parts underneath would be a good idea? I haven't been able to find any dirt/debris that would be causing the problem.
Yes, if there is physical resistance, then most likely it needs to be cleaned. Either some debris under there or the hinge clip itself needs to be cleaned.
If the plastic piece inside broke .. can I order that
Piece individually or do I have to replace the whole

If any component to the assembly breaks, you usually have to replace the assembly. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
I need help! I have a lenovo ideapad 100s- 11IBY (the battery cannot be removed). I got it 2 years ago and it was working perfectly but 2 days ago it started telling me that it's plugged in but not charging and the battery percentage is at 85% and is not decreasing nor increasing. I called a "specialist" to fix it and after 2 days of him "trying" he told me he was unable to fix it. I'm having a panic attack because i have an online exam on Thursday and i don't know what to do. Can you please give me a few suggestions on how i could possibly fix it myself?

If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
Hi, I have Lenovo Yogo 920 which has recently had a problem where the E key will generate strings of eeeeeeeeeeee without the key even being fully depressed, just very gently moving your finger over the surface of the key causes the eeeeeeeeee to repeat in any text box. This is obvisously annoying and a problem when entering passwords. Have you any idea what could be causing this and what solutions can you suggest, the laptop is only five years old and started doing it about 6 months ago. All the other keys need to be fully depressed before they generate their letter. Thanks in adavnce for your help.

Hi PC Monkey, I have a Lenovo Legion 5. My letter (N key) was kinda loose and when I pressed down the side key (N key) its kinda dislocate. What should I do? :( , also does this video (Lenovo Yoga Keyboard Key) has the same way to fix the keys in the Lenovo Legion 5 Keyboards? appreciate your help :)
Most keys will be designed the same way with slight differences to the parts that make them incompatible with each other but make installing them basically the same. You can reinstall the key as seen here assuming its not damaged.
Can i use keyboard keys from lenovo ideapad to yoga 7i ?, Its look similar
My yoga keys is broken, i've searched in all ecommerce but cant find it
You can try but most likely not. Most keys are not compatible with other models :(
I did everything right but I still can't get the key (B Key) on when I push it in.
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged.

@@PC_Monkey OK Thankyou!
You don’t mention how to clean the bottom after remove the cover ??? Because I facing a problem, I trying to typing and no wording display
1. This is a tutorial on how to remove and install a key. Do you need to clean yours? Is there a lot of debris there? If so, you could use a blower, a small vacuum, a rag with cleaner or a small tooth brush, etc.
2. Do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?
Thanks for posting these, it's nice to try to work through this problem myself. I have a Lenovo Yoga C740 purchased this summer. My retainer clip is still attached to the key cap and seems pretty securely attached. Should I pull the retainer clip off of the key cap? It won't snap back on as it is. I can send the computer in under warranty but that seems pretty silly for just a broken key.
Yes you should pull it off. Most keys wont reattach with it connected to the key cap
Is it only me or did he actually leave a mark from where he inserted the screwdriver?
(I would rather use some hard plastic anyways.)
overall it is a really great video and is very helpful but I've heard some youtubers suggest to not use metal on electronic (I know it's not some electrical thing but the main thing is scratches). Some do use metal anyways
Hello, my Lenovo yoga 530 number keys from 1 to 4 and 6 to 0 no longer work. Do you know how to fix it?
1. Do the key or keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like something is mechanically wrong with them?
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Overheating, liquid spill, Windows update, etc?
My key was lower than the others and was sticking so I followed this tutorial and to the key off and found that my rubber spring is broken off. How do I replace this
There isn't really a good way to reattach those. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.
Can you change the place of the letter cap and make it a AZERTY keyboard? I have the Thinkpad P1 Gen 4, with QUERTY keyboard and would very much like to have the AZERTY keyboard.
No. Simply changing the plastic cap does not change the value of the key when pressed. Thats a software issue
any tips on how to temporarily fix the broken keycaps pin?
If any component of the key assembly is broken, it would need to be replaced. Do you need help finding a replacement?
Hello, so I broke the plastic pin do you know where I can find a spare one ?

Hi, after I removed the keycap, I tried to snap it back on and it just wont stay on no matter what I do. It's in a state where I can remove it by hands because of how it is not snapped in
If the key does not stay in place, then its not installed properly, or its damaged, or its not orientated correctly. The trick is to find which one it is. Best thing to do is to remove another key cap and look at the still installed hinge clip. Compare that to yours to make sure its installed correctly, not damaged, and orientated correctly.
I have an Asus S400 laptop. The power and battery indicators are the only ones that light (battery indicator when plugged in). The laptop is unresponsive to all methods in your videos about the issue. Please help.

Make sure the computer is off and let it dry. Try taking it apart as much as possible to let each component dry. At least a couple days. Then try to reassemble and turn on.
dont put liquids near or on the same table as your electronics

They are constructed the same way, just with smaller components. Sometimes too, the retainer clips are sideways so you may be better off sometimes going at it from the top or bottom rather than the sides

@@kwamisetaylor4195 You would separate them as seen here in this video, using a flat small tool :)
White component between the key and keyboard bottom comes of much easier. But changing this white plastic mechanizm was not possible because there was slight difference where the holes were. I did order the keyboard from china.
Ya they can be very hard to match up sometimes. Even with the same brand and model, some have different clips than others. Soooo annoying :(
Can you a sep video on the arrow key (specifically the down arrow) that one is a bit different
It should be basically the same as the letter sized keys as its the same size on most computers. Its just a small hinge clip inside. The clip may be a bit different but basically the same
@@PC_Monkey okay, I’ll review that video again. When I first attempted I tried to insert the plastic piece on the key then hooked under the tab. Then when I sent to snap the piece on it detached from the keyboard to the separated piece 🤦
I spilled a drink over my keyboard and now the keys are sticky is I push them, so they have some resistance when I push them and go up slower. How should I clean this?
You can take the key apart as seen here and use a rag and cleaner to clean under it and the components. Be careful to not get it too wet and to let it dry fully before assembly. I like using a 70% Isopropyl Alcohol mix as it dries quick :)

Is this for x1 yoga 3rd generation?
Most all keys are constructed the same way so this would apply to most Lenovo's :)
The X1 yoga gen 3 have an unusual keyboard. Each key have 4 little lugs that pulls them up and down when you fold the screen. If you pull it out like this they will very likely break. Then the key won't retract when you close the screen or when you put it in tablet mode. The whole mechanism will be skewed and click each time you fold the screen. Then the key sticking out will most likely scratch your screen when folded. Not a good Idea. I did it like that and broke it, be smarter then me.
Great 👍
How does this actually repair anything? Yeah it shows you how to take it off and put it on . What I have is a key that I depress the intermittently does not give anything on the keyboard.
