The buildquality and serviceability of thinkpads is still unmatched 💪🏼
See in my video how the USB-C charging cable in Thinkpad X13 (and not just X13) wiggles all over the place 😢 I returned it and looking at other brands ruclips.net/video/o6v_VU5GnfY/видео.html
Old post, but I was kinda bummed out at how annoying it was gonna be to replace my keyboard. Then I see this post and it's like "oh yeah bud, it's a 10 minute task"
took me 5 minits
Remember when keyboards were easy to replace?
God i want that to come back.
Bravissimo, unico tutorial serio che evidenzia bene come smontare quelle "benedette" vitarelle. Tutorial valido anche per T470
This is called support . Customer at center of everything.Thank you.
Thanks for this video! I was able to change the keyboard easily by following these instructions. Frankly, it was easier than changing out an individual key.
where did you buy the replacement keyboard from?
It's frightening to see just how easy it is to upgrade every single aspect of the laptop.
Thanks for the video. Your video was the only one which helped me. I opened my laptop from the back and wasted a while figuring out where the screws were. Thanks a lot!
Really helpful, fast and easy. Thank you.
Thank you! Great video and easy replacement.
actually there are two rubber inserts under the battery. On the video you can see these have both been removed. They go in the small rectangle holes. You must remove these first to release the keyboard slider and replace them after completion to lock the keyboard in place. easy job with a pin etc.
think some model dont have those rubber, mine T440 without P have the rubber, which thank you for your comment that only managed to remove the keyboard.
This is so helpful. I manage to change my laptop following excatly the instruction kn this vid.
on the T440's are the backlit and non backlit kb's interchangeable?
tahnks
Yes. Backlit and non-backlit keyboards for the same ThinkPad model are
physically interchangeable. AFAIK all ThinkPads that support
backlighting have the electrical wiring installed regardless of the type
of keyboard shipped.
Note that Lenovo gets these keyboards from at least two manufacturers,
Chicony and LiteOn. If you like the feel of your current keyboard use
the FRU number to determine who made it and order a backlit version from
them.
It helped me a lot. Zillions of thanks.
Hi Daniel! We're glad to hear this! Please do not hesitate to reach us again via our social media platforms, as we will be very happy to assist you.

I have a T440P with a broken English backlit keyboard (FRU 04X0101). I'm looking for a replacement and I wonder if I can replace it with an Spanish one (FRU 01AX313). Will it work all the same?
Terima kasis ini amat membantu sy

What about 2 gummy knobs under the battery?
Thanks for the video!
Broke 2 keyboards trying to put a new one in even with this video. I am really regretting getting a thinkpad.
Hi Sydney, sorry to hear that. Do you need help with replacing your keyboard? If yes, we'd love to go over options with you. Cy_Lenovo
Thank you sir
good luck ddo that with oold lapttop full of food pieces - for me, it was impossible to be honest :/ but good to know and many thanks for upload
is it possible to replace the color of the backlight ?
Thanks a lot man.
Thanks !! It helped😊
Excellent! Thank you so much, it worked like charm.
Thank you so much!!!!!
For t440p, u actually have to remove the backcover first before u can start on removing the keyboard
After removing the battery, with the battery compartment on the top, there are 2 screws on the top corners, remove them.
then slide the backcover towards you before lifting it up.
No you don't. I was able to remove my keyboard without removing my T440p backcover.
@@MikelJRI True to this. I didn't have to remove any other screw but only the small ones of the keyboard, also a T440p.
Good brother
Thanks for video....🙏🙏🙏
Can i change my T440' keyboard into a backlit keyboard?
Hi there. Thanks for reaching us. The keyboard layout of our products are country specific. Also, we checked this model and can see that there're variant models which the keyboard backlight feature is optional. From what country did you purchase the device? Also, could you send us the exact model number of the device? Keep us posted. Ash_Lenovo
Thanks for sharing this video.
I have a couple of questions:
- I have a t440p equipped with a nonbacklit keyboard. Can I install the backlit version?
- which kind of toolkit (e.g. screwdrivers) do you suggest?
Thanks
Hi Francesco! Thank is actually a good question. When it comes to installing a backlit keyboard or replacing the keyboard, we cannot guarantee that installing a backlit keyboard would work, and we highly suggest that you stick with the standard keyboard that came with the laptop since that is the compatible keyboard issued for your laptop. However, if you still wish to have it replaced, you may check this document lnv.gy/2A5iMkG for the Part number of the keyboard for this laptop and please make sure that you choose the same keyboard layout.
As for the tools that you can use, we cannot recommend any specific tools or brand. Just make sure that you won't damage the laptop while doing the modification since it is not covered by the Base Warranty (lnv.gy/2A0gSC2) for Lenovo. Reggie_Lenovo
LenovoSupport thank you for your reply. I just have another question. Do t440ps have a replaceable sticker pad (like other Thinkpad models) or do I just need to replace the entire trackpad block? Thanks again
Hi Francesco! Another helping hand here, and we'd like to confirm about the sticker pad you've mentioned?
As I looked at the T440p's track pad, it comes with the keyboard frame. Please see the attached illustration from this link lnv.gy/2myG4WF.
We'll wait for your reply and look forward to assist you further. Thanks! Marky_Lenovo
LenovoSupport thanks, looking on the web it appears that the trackpad and the keyboard frame are usually sold as separate pieces
When you say keyboard frame, do you mean the actual keyboard? Because, based on the picture provided by Marky the keyboard layout or outer frame is part of the upper and comes with the trackpad. Reggie_Lenovo
Robert Siciliano rite . I broke key mount cause of this video
Hi @Melkonov Sergey. Sorry about what happened. We've checked the hardware maintenance manual and it matches the steps provided the video. Reference here: lnv.gy/2Nut418 (Page 73-74). If you're not comfortable replacing the hardware components, we would suggest to seek assistance from a local technician. Thank you. Auxen_Lenovo
This tutorial also serves for thinkpad X240?
Hi Murillo, Parts differ from the model of the machine. We suggest you to check the product specification of your machine first before getting into replacement. Here's the link for Thinkpad X240 : lnv.gy/3yJIFmb

Lenovo releases a video about how to fix their laptops?! Why doesn't Apple do that?
Because Apple is anti-consumer and doesn't want customers to fix their own machines, how do they make their money?
Do I need the rubber cover to install the keyboard? It's a bit annoying to put on correctly.
Hello Kyle! The rubber cover serves as a protective cover for the cables if on case there is an accidental liquid spill and prevents the cables from getting wet and damaged.
Let us know if you have other questions. Allan_Lenovo
How do you open the top part of the mousepad, and reput it correct it?
Hi there Stefano! Thanks for contacting us. Here is the link where you can check how to disassemble parts. Starting from page 67. lnv.gy/2yJirCT Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks. Arjay_Lenovo

Thank you na krub.
Thanx alot..
Thanks You

Hi how do I know whether my laptop is T440 T440P or T440S?
Hello Jeremy! Thanks for writing in. You can go here lnv.gy/2v2x5kM and put in your serial number to confirm which model you really have. To get the serial number, you can check here lnv.gy/2v2p9QE. San_Lenovo
It will say T440P or T440S on the bottom right corner of the monitor instead of T440.
Saludos, tengo una Lenovo thinkpad E431(que no es retro iluminado) y se lo quiero cambiar por el teclado de la Lenovo thinkpad T460 o por el de la 370 (que si son teclados retro iluminados) y antes de comprarlo quería saber si las conexiones son las mismas

May we also have the serial number shown on the bottom sticker via FB Private Message, or Twitter Direct Message, so we can check the warranty? Carll_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Thanks for letting me know the tips. I tried the "wipes clean the keyboard with alcohol" and somehow the left arrow button works again in 2 days. 😁👍
Hi there, Karin! Thanks for reaching us back. That's awesome news. We're glad to be of assistance. If any concerns or questions arise, feel free to reach us back at any time. Thanks for writing in. Have a great and safe one. -Maru_Lenovo
Can I change to a different layout? For instance a US one with a European/international one (where the number of keys is different).
Windows 10 allows you to add multiple keyboard layouts as needed, here's how: lnv.gy/389sbEF

Where we get E470 keyboard
How about how to replace an individual key on the keyboard? There's no videos out there on how to do it.
Hi Richard! Thanks for writing in. If atleast one key is not working or missing, the whole keyboard needs to be replaced because there is no single part number for each key. Mac_Lenovo
I have the keys...they just won't go back on. Our keyboards are under warranty for a one-time repair. If the same laptop has a keyboard key come off, there is no warranty. I just want to put ONE key back on but it's proving to be a losing battle.
Since it's under warranty, we recommend you contact our help desk for warranty repairs. lnv.gy/2xxcxTV, enter serial number then country. Mac_Lenovo
As I stated before --- the keyboards are warrantied ONE time. If the replacement keyboard loses a key, our business is responsible for the replacement keyboard cost (it's a school district).
Bad thinking from Lenovo
What is this?
What size screwdriver should I use?
Hi Lean, thanks for reaching out, and we'd like to help. In most laptops use the Phillips #1 screw is the most commonly used.
We hope this helps. Have a wonderful day ahead.
Moe_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport Will PH1 work on unscrewing the screws in the keyboard?
wow
Does that plastic "pry" tool come with replacement keyboards?
no, it doesn`t. At least not for me (ordered on ebay, not on the official site but still should be an original Lenovo). Also, I did it!! Lenovo, hire me, please..
Actually, it does when you order it from us. It's a plastic pry tool on
one end and a screwdriver that fits the screws on the other though, not
the tool shown in the video. The tool shown in the video is called a
"spudger" and can be ordered online.
Hello, does t440 keyboards works in e440 laptop?
Hi there. Thanks for reaching us. Our keyboard layouts are country specifics. Also, we checked further and can see that the two models used different keyboard as per their part numbers. Let us know if you need anything else. We'd be glad to help. Have a nice day, and stay safe. Ash_Lenovo
How to replace T540P

stupid ass question: can you put a old gen keyboard in this model? (i mean the one with the purple enter key) Any info would be much appreciated.
Hi @prival fang ! Thanks for writing in. There are things to consider when using a keyboard from different model to the Thinkpad T440p. First thing is the size of the upper case. Another thing is that most old Thinkpad Models has the keyboard assembly attached to the upper case. In addition to that, the screw location of the T440 (Back Cover) might not match to the screw location of the old Thinkpad Keyboard upper case. Let us know if you have further questions. Hector_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport I literally asked for a yes or no answer and I got this. This didn't help me in any way because o don't have the laptop.

How about not plastic welding the keyboard housing shut so people can actually repair them instead of replacing them :P.
Some say that T440 thinkpad is a degradation of previous Thinkpad...
the touchpad is so annoying n chiclet keyboard is not so convenient like 7 rows of T420
n not upgradeable CPU ..
Hi @Helix Partinus ! Thanks for writing in. The CPU of the Thinkpad T440 is not upgradable as it is soldered to the Motherboard. Also, could you tell us more about the problem on your touchpad? We're here to help. Hector_Lenovo
what a pain in the ass, i started it and gave it up.
Caprotto, ti sei dimenticato di dire che per far scorrere la tastiera bisogna rimuovere i due fermi in gomma sotto la batteria.... o passi una buona decina di minuti a smoccolare!
Fucking stupid design. Lenovo is usually better than this.
On a positive note the manufacturer actually producing the how to is very nice. Kudos for tht.
Stupid tutorial. As someone who already said in the comments "there are two rubber inserts under the battery which need to be removed first" and only then the keyboard will slide like in the video.... *facepalm*
