This guide will teach you how to remove a HP 14-fq1025nr keyboard and replace it with a new one. The keyboard allows for input to be typed into the computer. A faulty keyboard may result in input being incorrect and/or not being processed by the computer. For additional information and help with troubleshooting the keyboard, refer to our troubleshooting page.
