I followed along and my keyboard is now installed and working perfectly. Thank you for a great DYI videol
This is a brilliant video and enabled me to replace my old keyboard with a new one. There were 4 keys not working, but now they all work. Many thanks. I'd like to add some tips that I learnt that might help anyone else taking on this task. 1) All base screws are T4, and the 4 which run along the base at the opposite end to the hinge are extra short and do not need to be removed - just loosened until they click when you turn them. They won't fall out as they are held in with locking washers. 2) The heads of the plastic rivets can easily be cut off using a narrow wood chisel. 3) There are also some rivets underneath the black plastic sheet on the keyboard backing plate which connect to the keyboard and grill beneath it. If you peel off the sheet, they can be chiselled off quite easily. 4) I stuck my old rivet heads back on using some ABS dissolved in MEK. 5) You don't need to remove the speakers completely -just lift them up to access the edges of the backing plate. 6) Although my laptop never had a backlight, there is a connector which the backlight lead from the new keyboard now goes into - the lead had to be fitted copper side down (white line up).
Used this tutorial and another video showing the teardown of the Lenovo flex 5 1470 (my laptop) to replace this keyboard. Part costed me $26 USD with tax, I cut off each individual rivet with a plastic ex-acto knife and soldered most of them back on with the soldering iron. Attached the rest of the plastic rivets with JB-Weld, I let it sit overnight and put the laptop together after 24 hours. everything works great, thanks for the tutorial

Great video, made replacing my keyboard possible. Once I'd got the keys out I realised that it was going to be easier to replace the whole keyboard/trackpad assembly, but this video still gave me all the information needed to reassemble my laptop and it is now working again. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Thank you so much.. it is very important for me.. ❤❤

Did the extra ribbon on the new keyboard have anything to do with backlighting. The ordinal keyboard did not have that second ribbon?
Awesome, thanks for this great video....May i ask you if the backlight is working too now ? it was without before right ? so the motherboard is backlight ready ? thank you
Hi, Mate. Thanks for your time and the comment. yes this motherboard has backlight keyboard ready. and yes it was working with the new keyboard.
@@thepcphone thank you so much bro ...you made my day ;-)
You had to use a solder to remove the keyboard from the palm rest itself but didn't solder it back on. Did I miss a step? Is it not required?
I have Nitro 5 from Acer but that for its keyboard replacement they had to replace the whole top, as they said that it is the best option. They told me that if I replace just the keyboard, the keys won't pop out properly so I had to change the whole top. Are they right?

Hi, i have a question. Will the keyboard backlight work if I replace my regular keyboard with a backlit keyboard? The required connector is on the motherboard as well as on the laptop from the video.
someof the model coems with the connector and some of them doesnot. without led commector you would not be able to see any backlit.
Where did you buy the keyboard, my replacemtn guy put a non backlit keyboard on mine
Keys "3" and "e" are not working. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't so should i just remove the keyboard ribbon cable, clean it and fix it inside again. Will it work?
I like your video but can you make "how to clean a fan of this model" please. :D
I WISH I STILL HAVE THIS LAPTOP AND MAKE A VIDEO. UNFORTUNALTY THE LAPTOP ALREADY SOLD OUT. BUT I PROMISE AS SOON AS I GET WILL MAKE ONE VIDEO.
HOWEVER THE DISASSEMBLING METHOD WILL BE THE SAME AS THIS VIDOE . SO FOLLOW THE VIDEO HOW TO DISASSEMBLE THIS LAPTOP . LEASE CHECK THE VIDEO AT 10:10 AND IT WOULD SHOW YOU HOW TO REMOVE THE FAN SO THAT YOU CAN CLEAN YOUR ONE.

Hi, where did you buy this keyboard model? I've been looking for one for my Ideapad s340-15 and I can't find any
Hi, I did get it from eBay UK market. First search on google and then the Google would suggest you some local site. By the way it's not easy to get the part. Hope you would find it soon.
Is it necessary to break dome label to put the ram memory? I dont want to lose the guarantee

@@thepcphone thanks
How much it will cost in Thai baht as i am in Thailand and bought it there i want to change to backlit keyboard

car wash is better
Keys are coming off my idepad s340 14api. Where can i find replacement keyboard?
Your reply will be appreciated
I will let you know the best link to get the keyboard as soon as possible!
I have the same problem. Did you ever find out where to get it?
what is the size of the screwdriver used to unscrew the small black screws in the beginning?
Torx T4 for all 10 base screws (NB the 4 small ones don't need to be removed, just unscrewed as far as they will go), then cross head screwdrivers for all internal screws.
@@alanmorris7155 haha I appreciate your reply. thankfully I was able to figure this out before and I'm typing with my new keyboard.
Thanks,my s340 keys can't stop peeling out of the keyboard
Why not use a magnetic screwdriver to help rather than tweezers?
Other than that, great tutorial. Was going to try it myself, but looks WAYYYYYYYYY too complicated! :-D
thanks for your advice and in future, I would use one. it looks complicated but believe me, if you give it time and follow the step then its gonna be easy and simple. Good luck.
it shall be a challenge 😉[very poor design (access), in some laptops it goes like a module to replace a keyboard by opening just the top of the laptop and 4 screws signaled as keyboard, takes some 5 mins]
hi, great video, how much would it costt to do this??
LESS THAN 60 GBP
I just bought the same model and there is no keyboard light option out of the box.
But when u changed the keyboard does new keyboard light turns on? should i do the same?

Thanks for the video.
if your old keyboard did not show up any light in past then the new keyboard would not help ! press the fn key and try to find if there is any light sign. Strange issue.
Thanks you for your reply.
i had to do research on keyboard light option and i find out that my keyboard doesn't have light icon on space bar.
but i ordered new keyboard with backlight icon on space and i will be watching this video again for replacing my keyboard.
thanks for the great video.
@@prem2743 he plugs in the KB light at 33:45 in the video. I had no KB light option before the repair but the new KB had the light and worked perfectly after connecting it. To turn it on press Fn+ .
@@prem2743 did you replace the keyboard?
Can you do a tuturiol on how to clean the s340 top base ?
Sorry, at this moment I don't have any s340. But if I get one soon, then definitely I would do it.

What did you mean the keyboard replacement part? I would say please order the right part as the layout of the keyboard most of the time looks the same from the outside, but the flex cable are different most of the time. Happy to help! Hope you would subscribe to my channel! Thanks
First think first disconnected power cable from battery to motherboard.
do you have a link for keyboard?
Sorry I don't have any.
i ordered colored "rubber skin" for the keyboard from china but if i do this i dont think im going to get the old keyboard back. why they made that change so hard. with some laptops you only need to remove motherboard and thats it. with this model you need a flask. that sucks.. sorry about my english, its not my native language.
idk why they have to put those weird plastic things in the keyboard couldn't they use screws ?!!! tysm tho it helped me :3
Nowadays, all laptop manufacturer are not friendly for independent 3rd party repair .

Does anyone have a problem with the power button flashing after they've replaced the keyboard? Everything works just fine, but the power button is flashing, no matter what.
No, I didn't!!!
Price kayboard new
Not available now! Sorry
Terrable finish
I am going to order external keyboard since the laptop will probably last (for gaming, use at home only) not longer than 2-3 yrs and then it goes to rubbish anyway. Last model by Lenovo for sure, the inside design is extremely poor for DIY people
But num not working
FUCK WHY ARE THEY USING PLASTIC TO FIX IT ??? IS SCREW TOO COMPLICATED ?!?!?!?
One of the most stupid setup of keyboard in Lenovo
