HP Victus keyboard stuck

Hello, I accidentally clicked too hard on my touchpad and it's "sunken in". Should I get it repaired or is there a way to raise it back? It's worth noting that only my left and right clicks aren't working, while the left click works perfectly despite the fact that the touchpad is sunken in on the left side.

Hello,

Without knowing the exact model of your Victus, it's hard to help you.

It depends on how the key is broken; it can be repaired with glue if it's a simple break.

If not, you'll need to consider replacing the whole thing since I don't think it's possible to only replace the right-click (I'll let the other forum volunteers respond if they've done it before).

If needed, here's how to open/replace it:

Thank you for your reply, it's an HP Victus 16. The touchpad isn't broken as such; it's just sunken. It still works, but the click doesn't respond at all. I tried (and quickly stopped because I thought it was a bad idea) to leverage it with a plastic tool to raise it. The click responded, but as soon as I stopped using the tool, it went back to its sunken position and the click no longer works...

Hello,

If it doesn't stay raised, it's probably because the spring or return mechanism is broken.

Dismantling the touchpad to check it seems tricky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUDl4XvvGkk

Hello,

I have one of this kind in front of me, it comes from an "ACER Chrome" L=105.5 mm W=77.3 ep=2.8 it seems to be a plastic tab that acts as a spring.

I searched the Web, you can find it as a new part, between €20 and €50 depending on the exact product references...

But for that, you need to open the PC, to check the back of the keyboard...

You need the exact model, as it works with the software... Firmware.

Even though they all look the same...
