Replacing the keyboard on your laptop can be necessary if your keyboard is no longer responding. You will need a nylon or metal spudger. Make sure that the power is off before continuing.

Thanks! Just be careful when inserting the keyboard strips back into it's socket: that socket has retainer that needs to be released before inserting the strip. It is highlighted with different color, maybe brown. To release the strip pull the retainer in the same direction as when pulling out the keyboard strip, but do it before pulling that strip, so the strip will be released easily and can be inserted back when needed. Then push the retainer back...
