HP Envy 15 k046nd: Envy 15 k046nd how to remove the keyboard (shift of collage and key)

Hi all

Short version:

Does anyone know how to remove a single key on the keyboard without breaking? (or if it is still possible) I tried some things, but have failed.

Long version:

Unfortunately, I spilled lemonade on my keyboard last week. I cleaned it all that quickly, and nothing is technically wrong. But after 2 days some keys on my keyboard started to stick very bad, especially the entrance and the shift key. They still work, but it's very annoying. I have tried lifting below them and cleaning, but that has not worked, and I also can't get down them. I looked for a way to replace the keyboard, but I have to essentially take the computer laptop all apart + it's expensive. I hope someone can tell me how to down the different keys without breaking!

Thank you

Leon

Hi there @leonsmits,

Welcome to the HP support community! I read your post and wanted to tender hand can help you! I read that you want to remove the keys of the keyboard because they hold and you want to clean.

If a key is physically stuck in the down position, you should not replace your laptop. Many keyboards have keys that can be removed by inserting a knife to butter under one edge of the button and gently lifting upward on the upper and lower edge. Please NOTE: To avoid damaging the cushion under the key, insert the knife to butter only 1/8 of an inch under the edge of the key

After having removed the key, using a buffer with alcohol, clean the underside of the key and the key on the keyboard slot. Put the key in the snapping it back in place.

Here is a document for you called portable keyboard troubleshooting. There is a section in this document, called a laptop key stuck. This section will help you to guide you how to clean these keys.

If the keyboard doesn't have keys that can be removed, you may need to replace the keyboard or laptop service.

    Sticky Keys?
    I really put t know if you will be able to clean the little mechanism under the CAP.

    OK you can try it. What you need to do is remove the key cap first. Pull it gently on the floor. It is set with small farmers in plastic. When the CAP is removed, you can check the situation and try to clean it up.

    When finished put the CAP in place and push it all smoothly. You will hear clicking noise and everything should be OK again. Do it for all the keys.

  • How to remove the keyboard on my Satellite Pro C850 - 14 c

    Hey, quick question.

    How can I remove the keyboard of the laptop inside to give a cleaning?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I read that it is not very easy
    You will need to remove the CD/DVD drive first.
    Then, you will need to use a plastic stick to push the back of the keyboard of the ODD housing slot. The keyboard should be pushed until it lifts the corner on the upper surface of the case.
    Then using the same slice of plastic lever to insert between the keyboard and top box, then gently lift the edges of the keyboard until all locks are unlocked.

    By the way: this would be the warranty

  • Satellite C855 - 2 EV: how to remove the keyboard to replace the WLan

    Recently, I bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 - 2 EV.
    As the performance of the wireless network card is a little disappointing, I bought a replacement NIC.

    However when I tried to change the map, I was unable to open the laptop.
    There are a few screws under the keyboard that must be unscrewed before being opened.

    Unfortunately I could not remove the keyboard.
    Does anyone know how the keyboard can be removed?

    Thank you!

    I hope you know that replacement of a card WLAN or upgrade is not supported for doing something like that will void you the warranty. Another thing is the compatibility. Toshiba doesn't offer information on compatible WLAN cards so I m asking you already bought the new wireless network card.

    Are you sure that it will properly work 100%?
    Please think twice before you do anything. In my opinion, it is not good idea to cancel the warranty for the new laptop.

  • Equium P200 1IR - how to remove the keyboard internal?

    This portable soup spilled on the keyboard and now will not start, even with a wired USB keyboard. I want to disconnect the internal keyboard, because it seems that is what causes the problem. (I have experience). But I don't see how.

    I did some research on the web and looked at http://www.irisvista.com/ (mentioned in another thread), but not found anything that seems applicable to this model.

    Hey,.

    You should know that these disassembly guides not available in Internet so it s just good luck if you find guides or photos how to disassemble a laptop. These manuals are available for the service providers allowed according to me

    Anyway, normally it s not difficult to swap the keyboard. As far as I know, so you must remove the door-keyboard. You can do this with a thin tool
    After that, you should a few screws that attach the keyboard you have to remove and that s all

    On the Web site that you posted, you can find more instructions for Satellite P200. Perhaps this model P200 is similar to your check it!

    But to be honest, I doubt that your laptop would start after removing the keyboard, but you can try it. In the worst cases, you need professional help. An authorized service provider can check all hardware components. :)

  • How to remove the keyboard in a m6 desire?

    Hello

    It's all in the title really. My 'f' key does not work and I would remove it to check I have here something is poorly located below. How should I proceed?

    Thanks in advance.

    The keyboard is not a collection of parts that can be repaired or replaced individually. It is a unit. If you don't know what's down there, so there no reason to delete a key. What is that a flat area in metal. The wheels are on circuit inside the keyboard where you can't reach. I've seen too many people is back in a corner by removing the keys that are pretty darn almost impossible to replace. They stand in a easier way that they return. It is not uncommon that keyboard problems appear as a simple failure or keys just a couple defective.

    The only thing you can do is to reset the computer. Remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC. Press and hold the power for 30 seconds. Replace AC and power. Go into the BIOS and reset the default settings to the output. When it does start, go into the Device Manager and remove the keyboard as a device, restart again and let the driver to reload. This means maybe 5% chance of restoring function.

  • Satellite 1730, how to remove the keyboard?

    The keyboard of my laptop is not working properly, so I have to use an external keyboard. This works well, but one of the keys on the internal keyboard is pressed, and the situation is therefore onworkable. Somehow disable the internal keyboard? Or does anyone know how to disconnect inside?

    Hi Jan,

    As much as I know there is no disable for keyboard function. If you want you can try to uninstall it, but I'm sure that after the reboot it will be recognized again.

    If you have any success to disable the keyboard please let me know.

  • How to remove the keyboard on hp-dm1-4050us?

    My hp-dm1-4050us keyboard is broken, Enter/return back, space, up, down keys unresponsive, but all other keys work fine.  Drivers and other software solutions do not work, enough course that material is just kaput.

    I have a replacement keyboard, but it is unclear how to safely remove the original. I removed the battery and checked for screws/bolts that hold the keyboard instead of the bottom, but do not see, and there is no other removable panels or compartments.

    Is this keyboard designed just to be pried off of on the edges, or is there another way?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    R & R on the keyboard procedures are in Chapter 4 starts on page 60.

  • How to remove the local partition of storage and vmfs

    I have esx 3.5 on a 6 infrastructure hosts. Each host, in addition to other stuff, I have a 6 GB VMFS partition, "tied" to a local storage.

    I did not install, so I do not know the purpose of this partition, but there seems that it is not used, because it is empty.

    Now I need free space on the hosts to install monitorning of IBM tools, and I thought that it was preferable to have these installed NOT on the partition root.

    Since I have this 6 GB partition (hopefully) unused, I if I could remove the storage, delete the partition VFMS and create an EXT3 partition.

    But I do not know how... can someone tell me the exact procedure I should follow?

    Some information about my environment:

    the VMFS partition is sda3:

    Disk/dev/sda: 14.9 GB, 14999879680 bytes

    Heads of 64, 32 sectors/track, 14305 cylinders

    Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

    Device boot start end blocks Id system

    / dev/sda1 * 1 100 102384 83 Linux

    / dev/sda2 101 5100 5120000 83 Linux

    FB/dev/sda3 5101 11680 6737920 unknown

    f/dev/sda4 2688000 14305 11681 Win95 Ext'd (LBA)

    / dev/sda5 11681 12224 557040 82 Linux swap

    / dev/sda6 12225 14206 2029552 83 Linux

    14207 14305 CF 101360 unknown sda7

    And I have this virtue/vmfs/volumes (ensv16oe:storage1 is the local storage, I want to delete):

    # ls

    48bedd8b-7fe7ff6e - 36 c 5-00215e2097b4 Datastore1

    48c5a420-0cc1aaee-6f30-00215e20951e Datastore2

    Datastore3 48c5a439-83322386-75 d 3-00215e20951e

    49aece6c-cbdd0d6c-5253-00215e20951e ensv16oe:storage1

    ensv16oe:storage1 is on vmhba1:4:0:3

    Thank you for your attention.

    The restart was not necessary also if fdisk say Yes.

    A different way has been to say the least the VMFS volume empty, change the type with fdisk, forcing a new analysis and verify that the data store is gone.
