Disassemble the U350 to replace the keyboard?

Hello

I need help to take apart a Lenovo Ideapad U350 to replace/repair the keyboard (a couple of keys are unresponsive). However, I struggle to take the case apart to get it out. I removed all the screws 'obvious' (including those behind the hard drive), the battery, but there is something that seems to hold the right hand just in the two USB connectors. Any idea? I feel using several force is going to break something.

Best regards

/ Roger

Hi Roger,

I hope this helps...

... caveat: it's a pain in the butt to dismantle this laptop. So unless you think you're experienced enough, I wouldn't recommend it. You can easily ruin...

..... So what you have to do is to remove all the screws on the underside. Then remove the cover of your hard disk, which is held by 6 screws. The hard drive itself is maintained by a screw. Remove it, slide it to the side. Below, you'll find a three other screws screw. The keyboard must be delete too because below there are two screws more silver lid. Withdrawal of the keyboard means three live two tabs and cable under the alt and the SPACEBAR, detachment. Then the coverage of the silver must be removable, but it is not very easy, so be careful...

End of quote.

I found this info here...

    Hello

    I don t think you will find all the manuals that describe the keypad by removing the procedure. These manuals are not official documents and only for the use of the partner service.

    But to my knowledge the removal of keyboards is not very difficult.
    There should be a thin cover above the keyboard. This coverage masks 2 screws holding the keyboard. You must remove the cover and screws cautious.
    Then it should be possible to remove the keyboard.
    But beware, the keyboard is connected with short, flat cable to the main Board.

  • spilled water on the keyboard, the keys do not work Ideapad Z500

    Hello

    A few hours ago I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard of my Lenovo Z500 Touch. The PC was only going to batteries, not connected with the adapter. I cleaned the water immediately. I turned it off, only it works a few times to see if everything was ok. Now (about 6 hours of the accident) most of the keys on the keyboard do not work. I turned the pc upside, hope it's just the water left in the keys, and now I'm waiting for the water to dry.

  • Portege R500 - replacement of the keyboard - success

    After buying a new keyboard for the R500 on EBay about a year ago, I finally blew the courage to replace a badly scratched by a new keyboard. The reason I've waited? I was worried about how to get out the old keyboard (it is locked down to the chassis, and it was obvious that I have would hurt one during the withdrawal.

    There is a nice write-up general on how to disassemble a R500 here:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Portege-R500/disassemble-laptop-remove-hard-drive.htm

    The description above is not to discuss the keyboard however, so here's some additional information and tips:

    * Read this whole procedure before you start - it's simple, but not for the faint of heart.

    * Shut down, unplug the power, remove the battery.

    * Make sure that you have the correct keyboard for your model. The US keyboard is p/n G83C000903US for example. One I removed was a Rev 1 and a new one, I had a Rev 2 (don't know the difference - they look identical). They can get as low as $40-mais check the part number before you buy.

    * The keyboard connector is located under the computer, and so you will have to take off from the bottom, carefully following the instructions in the link above.

    A couple of notes: (a) the cable Ribbon PCMCIA connector must be opened to disconnect the cable, as this is the only thing that prevents you from removing the bottom of the computer. You can easily do so through access memory on the back door, but BE careful not to damage the cable lock. It works by switch to the top the little plastic lever that is held in place by small pieces of plastic on the sides of the connector that flex * a little *. Be gentle with this connector. When you put it back later-connector, if you placed the cable all the way into the connector, you can lock with only slight pressure down on the connector, and it will snap into place.

    (b) there are other types of cable Ribbon connectors use too. For example, to unlock the keyboard connector, now visible also on the bottom of the deck, slide both ends of the connector in the direction where the cable plugs in. They are snug and will only move about 1/4 ", be gentle but firm.

    (c) the two tiny connectors blocks free access to the water of the keyboard do not have locks on them. We're a band with only a few drivers, and one is a red and white power connector. Just pull out them. All the other connectors, you will probably miss through requires unlocking, so be careful!

    _Now back to the keyboard: _

    Once you have managed to disconnect his cable on the bottom, turn the laptop and start to remove the keyboard on the edges. It is supported by many small pieces of sticky tape, 2 faces, and that's it. As the base of the keyboard is made of aluminum, it is likely that you will distort the keyboard a bit as release you it, even though it may be downplayed maybe using a tool like a rule or something plastic and pry with it. Take care of not to damage the connector of the Ribbon and try to ignore these scary cracking sounds that identify each section!

    Once you have turned it off, you must remove any excess tape before starting point and again put a bunch of small pieces of new, good quality 2-sided tape (such as 3 m). No need to use anything stronger or thicker - just put a bunch of parts everywhere on the base, especially near the edges and the space key.

    Now, finally, turn the keyboard in position, making sure that you screw the connector back Ribbon through to the correct place. Turn the laptop over and re - insert and lock the Ribbon connector (make sure that it is directly and fully forward lock connector). All other connectors back in too. Then come back and push down hard on all sections.

    Re-assembling, taking care to put the 4 mm and 6 mm screws in the right places and a tiny on the side.

    Cross your fingers and turn it on!

    Good luck!

  • Replacement of keyboard on the Satellite Z930

    Does anyone know a link / instruction on:

    (2) can I replace it myself? If so, how?

    Thank you!

    I put t know what the problem with your keyboard, but I presume that this new model of notebook warranty valid so I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. If the keyboard is defective they must exchange it for free.

    The whole situation with pieces of equipment is quite complicated. I n don't know where you live and I can't search across the web to find the right link for you and you can do it alone. Google around a bit and see if you can find some online store in your country where you can order.

    Replacement?
    Theoretically, you can do this, but I put t think you should do it alone. Disassembly of the laptop can be quite complicated and without high-risk maintenance manuals. Small mistake you can damage something, especially small parts in plastic and plastic materials.

    Contact the nearest service Toshiba, talk with them and seek assistance or advice well.

    Hello!

    Normally, you can remove the keyboard if you first remove the keyboard cover. Then you should see 2 screws holding the keyboard. Remove the two screws and now you can remove the keyboard, but don't forget to remove the keyboard cable too.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky and if you don't know how to make a laptop technician should ask for help.
    If your laptop is under warranty, the repair should be free.

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

I expect that the connector of the ribbon cable must be of the type where a hinged band (diff color to the body of the connector) holds the cable in place. It appears if the cable is fired and you push it when the cable is inserted. There is normally a line on the cable to show that you have completely inserted the cable and the cable is inserted instead. -Examine the original cable until you remove
