Hp Probook 450 G9 Keyboard Replacement

[Hilma Klingaman]

Thisis a very difficult issue to resolve which seems odd. It's such a little thing. But the keyboard key is attached by a bunch of very small plastic pieces, really a marvel of engineering. You have to carefully examine the place where the keyboard key mounts to the board and all the mounting pieces. Even a small part that is broken will prevent the key from snapping on right. There is also no universal way keyboard keys mount to the keyboard. Several different systems are used.

These guys are the industry leader and have a library of tutorials for various models. Try to find one that looks the most like your mounting system and follow along. These guys also sell individual keys.

On your model HP does not even sell just a keyboard but offers as replacement the whole top cover which is obviously expensive and hard to install. So try to work through replacing the key. I wish I could get back some of the time I have spent on this very frustrating task. My eyesight no longer allows me to try to do this kind of fine detail work.

Thank you for the response. I already watched those videos and they were no help. My key looks nothing like the one shown in the first video and the laptopkey.com doesn't even list my model laptop. Can the key be attached with a glue or some adhesive?

Please note that for some recent HP laptop/notebook Pavilion models, the keyboard is not easily replaced. Most older HP laptops were designed with replaceable keyboards in mind. You simply remove a few screws, detatch a panel, and the keyboard comes off. This is terrific because it's generally user serviceable for anyone handy with tools and the ability to follow instructions.

I performed this task. It took me about 6 hours. I could have done it in about 3 hours, but I wasn't conscientious enough and didn't keep proper track of all the screws and where they go. You see, there are FOUR different screw sizes. And while some screws are used internally, others are used externally. It is best to draw a diagram and keep track of every single screw.

One benefit I got was that my 15-ab010nr did not come with a back lit keyboard. However, the 15-ab series did have it as an option. It turns out that only ONE motherboard was created, and thus there is a ribbon cable socket for powering the LED backlit keys. If you're going to go to the trouble of replacing the keyboard, and your current one isn't back lit, I suggest going with one. Also, my original keyboard was terrible. It had a black matte finish that became glossy over time where fingers touched it the most, thus uneven. Some letters wore off too. It looked terrible and some keys started to stick. The silver keyboard is the best because it has a satin finish and won't show wear as easily.

Yes. HP only "spares" the entire top cover. The keyboard is not officially a replaceable part. I have been advising Users of this for a long time. The top cover is an expensive part but ordering it and replacing the whole thing makes for an easier time of it. Its not so much a cost-cutting thing as trying to make laptops as thin and light as possible as that is what the public demands. Same evolutionary force that did away with the easy access memory and hard drive doors. Laptop service is getting harder for the shadetree mechanic. Thanks for the report, however.

Thanks for your response. How long ago did HP change their policy about the keyboards? Because I've had 4 HP laptops prior to this one and the 2 earliest ones were fairly easy to replace the keyboard. One was so simple -- there were 2 screws on the case bottom that once removed released the keyboard and then you just detatch the ribbon cable(s).

Anyway, I hope HP has made some improvements on key cap quality. My original ones were matte black and ended up with shiny spots, plus a few letters wore off. The replacement is much better--not sure if it was manufactured later with improved materials, but the silver satin finish is nice. It was also a joy to finally have this notebook's keyboard back lit like on my old Envy M6. It makes such a difference in low light.

You are preaching to the choir dude. I ceratinly recall easy out keyboards. This is not a policy it is a design decision. Some of the workstation models which are thicker still have an easy out keyboard. The thin and light design trend is industry wide and I am sure you would find that other laptop makers do the same thing. Keyboard keys do seem to be getting crummier and crummier. I collect vintage laptops and it breaks my heart to go back and feel what it was like to type on a vintage IBM Thinkpad or even an old HP Omnibook. But those laptops are clunky and thick as a brick.

After more than a month, the new keyboard is still working. Again, it's slightly "mushy" in some spots, but less noticeable if you type relatively lightly. I still think it's a much better choice to replace the top bezel with keyboard already embedded, rather than going through the long arduous task of replacing just the keyboard. And if the original keyboard wasn't back lit, it's worth spending a little more to get a back lit one.

I have a 4-year old HP Pavilion 15-p045tx notebook. The laptop is in good condition except for the keyboard whose certain keys stopped responding about 6 months ago. I replaced them from an authorized service center but the problem is that the experience with replaced keyboard is not the same as the original ones. I need to replace the entire keyboard panel with attached keyboard.

I've replaced keyboards on two different HP laptops over the years and each time, it cost me areound $25 for the keyboard. So, in each case, considering that a replacement laptop would have been $500 or more, the replacement was well worth the cost.

I need to replace the keyboard on my HP Probook 430 G8 as the power button is broken. I cant find any videos for keyboard replacement - the HP video seems to cover everything else, except keyboard! Can anyone help

To translate, this means you have to get a new top cover with keyboard included, disassemble the laptop entirely, then rebuild it onto a new keyboard and top cover. So the procedure is the sum of all those other videos.
