Haha yes, that's exactly my reaction. I probably *could* do it but the amount of care required for such a painstaking disassembly/re-assembly is just not worth it considering its value. And there's sourcing a replacement kbd too. I'll re-sell as spares I think 😞
Having to cut the 75 or so plastic soldered rivets and then re-solder them was a complete pain, but well worth the effort because it worked perfectly. The tip about transferring the backlight is absolute genius because I saved money on buying a non backlit replacement keyboard. Thanks very much for a very informative and useful video.
quick question, my issue is that a few of my keys is not working half the time as in its very unresponsive unless you press it in a certain way pressing hard does not work so im wondering if its a hardware or software issue, because I would have to replace the whole motherboard if it is software.
@@thebenster7624 well, one way you can test is this. If your ideapad is like mine, if it is completely off, but connected to a power source, if you press a key on your keyboard (I think you need just one tap, but I did several), it should display a power symbol on your screen. Do that for every key, and those keys that didn't get that power symbol, those are your duds. This test doesn't involve windows, which probably means its bad keys/hardware issue.
My hat goes out to people who actually performed this replacement. Having to remove every other major component just to get to the keyboard is already a lot of work (and reassembling) is already intensive, but in addition to this, you have to soldering stuff back? That isn't required training for people going int computer repair anymore.
I ordered the keyboard and then watched this video. I'm going to give it a try as my D an CTRL keys are driving me fffing crazy. If I mess up I'll take it to the range and put it out of its misery. :)
Thanks for making me aware that I have to pay someone to change my keyboard out.

@@daffyduk77 Yes. And I've seen a few examples where some who attempted were not able to get their computers up and running properly again.
@@RaphaelAshanti In my early days of laptop servicing I had a fair few of those abortions.

Great job! Cheapest part, yet most expensive repair!
Thank you very much for your video. We have repaired my laptop with a new keyboard 35 euros... And 2 hours of hard working 😅
After replacing the keyboard, the laptop does not power on. No indicator lights turn on, and there is no response when attempting to start the laptop.
Hi, What material do you use to solder the keyboard? Can it only be plastic? Or will tin work? 8:11
Hi! Have you figured it out?
@@coolhawk9003 looks like he just reused what he cut off earlier
@@uploadmeful thank you! actually, I'm already done with it, so can share the experience. I melted plastic zip ties for cables. Works smoothly
I have one of these laptops with the Intel i5, can I swap the non back lit keyboard for a back lit one?
Super video, FYI , Lenovo sell the full face plate, keyboard and trackpad attached for €90 . Might save some time for anyone planning this 😊
Link please, I’m in the United States
In casa ho del PLA o TPU, vanno bene per rifare quelle piccole saldature per bloccare la tastiera?
Can you tell me what screw driver is used to open back case?
Its a very small torx
Hello, thanks for the tutorial, would you say what material was used to solder back the keyboard's frame? Some kind of plastic? At the 8:05
Yes.. plastic..
@@taktiktopdotcom what kind of equipment do I need for this solding?
Just plastic?@@taktiktopdotcom Can you give an example of what kind of item/material to take? I tried PVC, didn't work...
Is this the same process for the New for Lenovo ideapad 5-15IAL7?
Mmm... little different.
@@taktiktopdotcom in what ways?
I too changed the keyboard, but laptop not turning on now? What could be the reason? Removed all the cables and reattached again but did'nt worked
Now working?
Didn't precisely follow the correct reassembly sequence, or damaged a ribbon cable/component whilst dis-assembling 😞
it would be great if you could do a fan cleaning
Okay I just wanted to spray behind it but they really locked that mf in there didn’t they?
yep. I looked up the service manual and the directions for keyboard removal starts off with the removal of every other component.
I ordered the keyboard and then watched this video. I'm going to give it a try as my D an CTRL keys are driving me fffing crazy. If I mess up I'll take it to the range and put it out of its misery. :)
Price of this keyboard??
Different in every country
i love how you just reused the disassembly footage for the assembly footage
Maan!! This is extensive.
tf. I just need to clean my keyboard. Not to construct the Oprimus Prime 😅
just did this repair, goddamn those rivets are annoying but well worth
Great, worked for me as well. Only hd to open it cover 3 times since touchpas didnt work
Glad it helped
I changed my keyboard. But when i start my laptop. The power is on, but the screen is not worked
Recheck the lcd cable
Nice video, and without indian accent
He's smoking, dont smoke kids!
haa ha... half of the video was played in reverse.. no one noticed it..
Yes .. it is
calamité de pub !
