- This Lenovo Ideapad 320S laptop is over 4 years old and it's a quite a good laptop for its age, but in time the keyboard became so messed up that I literally can't use it anymore, with some keys sticky and other completely broken.
Not to mention my trial to stick fluorescent keys on top of it which seemed a good idea at the time, as they help a bit in the dark, but they also got very ugly in the end.
So I postponed the keyboard replacement until literally the CTRL and Space keys didn't respond anymore, when I had to do this operation.
As you can see, even though I am a jack-of-all-trades, I didn't replace a laptop keyboard in ages, which is visible in the video... :)
Still, it worked out ok eventually and now I have a lovely and WORKING brand new keyboard, so I thought to share the procedure so others benefit too.
Well done !
Bruh I wanted to replace mine but looks like it will take forever
Hi. Well, there is indeed a bit of unscrewing to do and especially the plastic little caps are literally part of the material, so you have to snap them... and there are a lot of them.
But to be honest, once you get used to melting them back, it's not such a big deal. But yea, it can take some time and a bit of skill... hence why I posted this video. :)
My keyboard was completely done, I couldn't stand a minute with it, so I had no doubt about changing it, regardless of the effort and time spent.
But anyway, just follow the video and slowly go through the process. It's not that bad in the end and you'll have a brand new gorgeous, USEABLE keyboard! :)
A! BTW, I didn't even melt/glue all the plastic caps back, just enough to hold it in place properly.
Just do it man! Maybe make sure you put the screws organized by groups and take a few pictures of how the internal electronics are seated and connect together.
