The keyboard is the most essential input device for computers. Keystrokes are sent to the CPU and decoded to allow users to interact with the computer. This guide provides a step by step procedure to replace the keyboard of your HP Pavilion x360 14-ba253cl. All of the keys of the keyboard are connected in this model, so to fix any number of keys you must remove the entire keyboard. You might have to replace the keyboard if the buttons or the touch-pad are unresponsive or in cases of liquid spills. For this procedure, you will need a screwdriver along with 6 mm and 4 mm screw bits, an opening pick, and a spudger. This is a very straightforward procedure that does not require expertise in electronics.

Kristen, How is the keyboard mounted to the top panel?
Only need to remove the two near the hinges. Use your fingers so you don’t scratch anything.
