Pavilion 17-g173ca: replace the touchpad on the keyboard

Touchpad on the front, under the keys is difficult for arthritic fingers deformed.  Find buffers left & right clicker easier on the fingers.  Advice where to ask for help to replace the touchpad.  No need to replace the entire keyboard.  Ideas suggestions appreciated.  Trish

Hi @Trishebear,

Please become a member of the HP's Support Forums. I understand that you have a problem with the help of the touchpad. I'll be happy to help you.

There is no alternative with another type of touchpad.  May I suggest buying a USB mouse or a wireless mouse.  I use a trackball, that I find it easier to control the pointer, but that's just me.

Please keep me informed of the progress of things.

If you need help, let me know and I will gladly make all that I can to help you.

  • How to replace the keyboard on the Satellite R830?

    Hello

    Your warranty is valid?
    In this case contact the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard, since this would be covered by the guarantee and he would be free of charge.

    As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same as for Portege R700 series
    It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
    Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
    Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
    And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts.

    Is there a caraa how do I replace the keyboard?

    Greets, Benjamin

    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.

  • You can replace the keyboard on Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT?

    Hi all

    I can get a good deal on a laptop Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT.

    However, there is a downside. They keyboard is in German. I think that the German layout is QWERTZ?
    in any case, I want to know if it is possible to replace the keyboard with a keyboard with a United-States-layout (QWERTY).

    I noticed several online shops offer keyboards, but I'd rather be safe on this fact.

    I can find keyboards, with provision of the United States, for Acer Aspire E5 - 571 G '-part, but not for the TC model 59. Does it matter? I think that the last part is reserved for configuration, right? If anyone can confirm this?

    The keyboard I have found so far is: http://bit.ly/1EVk49k

    So far, thanks for responding. Very much appreciated.
