[Dismantle] Keys of an HP Pavilion laptop

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to reattach the keys on the HP Pavilion dv6000
I can't seem to get the keys back on, thank you in advance.

Hello,

It happens that I have a slightly different issue, but it resembles the one mentioned by yoy.

Actually, my neighbor opened a bottle of cider not far from my HP Pavilion dv9000 and there was a lot of pressure. When I saw the foam everywhere on the keyboard, I reacted right away and turned the PC upside down to drain the cider. However, since then my keys are sticking, and I admit it's getting annoying.

What solution could you provide me?

Thank you in advance.

:)

Hello,

Several things:
1 - Using water to clean a keyboard is not recommended at all! There are very effective cleaning products available over the counter (brand Jelt, product = Buroclean, in a 650 ml aerosol can for example). Anyway, using an anti-static product or, at the very least, a product specifically designed for electronic and electrical contacts (brand Dégryp-oil, product = netelec)
2 - NEVER pry off the keys of a laptop with a small knife! It's a surefire way to spend hours trying to put the spring clips back in place.
3 - Before cleaning a laptop keyboard, unplug EVERYTHING, remove the battery, and disassemble everything that can be easily taken apart. Often, the keyboard itself is removable. (Be careful with the keys, do NOT attempt to remove them.)
4 - For cleaning a keyboard, use a product as mentioned above + vacuum with a dust brush + drying spray and let it dry overnight.
5 - For cleaning a very, very, very dirty keyboard, use the cleaning product mentioned above, let it sit, apply another layer of product, scrub with a brush between the keys, vacuum with a wet and dry vacuum, wipe with a lint-free cloth, dry with a can of compressed air if needed, and wait at least overnight afterward.

There you go.

Hi everyone!!! I notice that you all have almost the same problem... So personally, for the dirt under the keys, I use a vacuum cleaner (nothing more common) and my laptop is like new afterwards; as for the dirt, I apply some all-purpose cleaner on a cloth and wipe the keys, and use a glass cleaner on the screen;
Otherwise, for key problems, if only one side (the bottom or the top) is still stuck, just press on the top and it will clip back in place by itself. To remove them, you need to take off the top first (I mean detach it) and then the bottom, no need for a knife, your nails—even if you don't have any—are enough because a knife can be dangerous for clumsy people...

There you go, I hope I have answered the doubts of some, if not all... Ciao tutti belli!!

There are 2 small notches at the top and 2 at the bottom. You need to engage the 2 small notches at the top (which is quite easy with the key upside down); then flip the key over. The whole thing will be flat, but the mobility isn't satisfactory. You then need to slide a thin object under the small legs at the bottom, lift the leg, and gently push down the key to re-engage the 2 notches at the bottom. It's fixed in 10 seconds!

thank you for your solidarity

Hello, I noticed that one of the keys on my HP Pavilion was misaligned, so I disassembled it to try to put it back correctly, but I'm struggling. Can you help me?

Hello,

My roommate spilled jam between the keys of my ACER BL51 laptop. On top of that, there have been a bunch of other stuff... So some of my keys are really sticky and it's very annoying.

The problem is that the jam is starting to mold a bit, I think. What should I do about it...? Where can I get all the cleaning tools???

Thanks,

My Acer Aspire 7720Z has crumbs under the keys, so sometimes I have trouble typing. How do you remove the keys?

Yes, I ate over the keyboard... XD

Hi, my PC is an HP Pavilion dv6000
To reattach a key, you need to start by clipping the small white mechanism back onto the keyboard. First, the small one on the left, then the one on the right that goes over it. Everything should be flat once assembled. Next, use a small flat screwdriver to lift the mechanism slightly so that you can clip the left part of the key back on (2 "clips" normally), and for the last one, you just need to press down on the key.
I hope this will be clear enough.

Hello everyone, Without wanting to contradict Dahshen, it's the opposite that needs to be done. First, fix the mechanical skeleton onto THE KEY, then you clip it all onto the keyboard.
The only problem, and this is my issue, I can't detach the "skeleton" that has remained on the keyboard. I'm left with just the bare key
My turn --help--

Bonjour à tous, my son spilled soapy water on my laptop while it was on, the keyboard no longer works!!!!!!!!! It’s been three days. What to do? Thank you.

Hello, if liquid has spilled on the keyboard and/or the motherboard, you need to urgently turn off the laptop (remove the plug, etc... the power button). Then turn it upside down. Next, dismantle the keyboard and dry it, and soak up the remaining liquid under the keyboard or the pad, etc., with a cloth. When everything is dry, reassemble it and see if it works. I don’t recommend using a hairdryer because it could cause more harm...

Otherwise, if you don’t know how to disassemble your keyboard, clean it with a soft brush and a used toothbrush but definitely no liquids. Otherwise, use the screen cleaner for TV screens but do not spray it directly on the screen, only on the cloth.
There you go, see you!

Yes, the professionals can do it, but whether it will work again is another question!!! To be tested.

HELLO! I SPILLED A BOWL OF CHOCOLATE ON MY KEYBOARD! NOW WHEN I TURN ON THE COMPUTER, THERE'S A CONTINUOUS BEEPING SOUND! I NEED TO CLEAN THE KEYS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM MUST BE STUCK. THE PROBLEM IS I DON’T KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE KEYBOARD WITHOUT RISKING BREAKING IT. I HAVE A ZV 5200 PAVILION, IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION.....THANK YOU. BIL

me too, except that I'm into iced tea... not great :/ so I'd like to know if tech companies can do that?
