Removing the battery is ridiculously difficult, and in most places on the net it's written off as simply impractical to attempt. It's necessary to completely disassemble the laptop as before, but also remove the battery and trackpad.
None the less, it seems to have worked out since I'm using that laptop right now to compose this. This is the option I chose because I didn't like the idea of ripping the keyboard out and didn't know how much of a complete pain it would be to remove the batteries. Put everything back together and see how it works. The screws should self thread into the aluminum. The keyboard can now be screwed in place using the holes left by the rivets. You will also need the pack of 100+ tiny screws, ph000 I think. The new keyboard can be purchased online in various places for not too much money. From what I've seen, this works fairly well, but you may have to pull some that got left behind with tiny pliers or drill them out. It's necessary to rip the keyboard out of those 100+ holes, trying to get all the rivets out of the case in the process. When you get to the keyboard, you will see it's secured with what look like rivets. You will also benefit from a fine pointed plastic pick, and a strong plastic spudger for flipping open cable connectors and moving tiny wires into place.įollow the teardown guides you can find on the net. See other guides for sizing, but most computer repair kits these days come with the needed sizes.
Pentalobe, hex, and a tiny philips are all needed. You will need the right screwdrivers and an anti-static work surface. If you are willing to spend nearly a full day doing the work yourself, or happen to be a computer repair person and can do it faster, this is a reasonable option.
Officially, as mentioned in other answers, you must replace the whole assembly which includes the keyboard, backlight, trackpad, and batteries. This may not be practical if you have many problem keys. If done carefully, you can remove enough of this to clean the mechanical workings of the single key. There is a metal clip holding the key top down to a surface with a rubber membrane that actuates the key switch. Using a toothpick or other small prying device like a guitar pick, a plastic spudge, you can pry from the sides and pop the key cap off.
