Repair of the keyboard of a stationary computer and a laptop

The keyboard is a device on which buttons are located, designed to enter information or control a computer. This device (along with the mouse) is most often used by a human, so problems can often arise related to the failure of keyboards, especially old ones. However, do not immediately throw out the broken device, because you can repair the keyboard. And maybe it just needs simple maintenance.

The most common problems are with separate groups of buttons, especially those that are used more than others, for example, Shift, Ctrl, Esc, Space, Enter. But the keys of the upper row are practically not used and remain as new ones. Thus, when repairing the keyboard, it is necessary to open the device by unscrewing a few screws, and replace the worn out rubber pads with the ones that are not in use. Collecting everything, you can get a practically new working device. At the end of the process, you need to remove dirt from the buttons, and the erased keys should be signed or put on them special labels.

The newest products are made with cast contacts. In a similar situation, to replace the used connectors, small circles cut from thin foil should be used.

There are also models equipped with mechanical contacts, under the keys of which are pushers, pressing rubber pads. Often, when cleaning such devices, the pads are lost, and their search does not work. In this case, performing repair of the keyboard, it is necessary to cut out of the foam rubber a small barrel with a size of 5 to 5 mm, then it is required to make the stem of the comb teeth to be pressed. The rod is inserted into the center of the cushion, and the ready device is sent to its place. We can assume that the keyboard repair is done.

It is more convenient to disassemble the buttons with tweezers that have jagged edges. The button is pulled up vertically with a little effort. It is more difficult to get the space and input keys, which have a complicated design and are equipped with metal guides. Care should be taken when removing them.

If everything is more or less clear with ordinary devices for a stationary computer , then repairing the keyboard of an Acer notebook or another model often causes great difficulties, and at home it is problematic.

Most often, the laptop's keyboard goes down as a result of liquids entering. Therefore, you should avoid the neighborhood next to the device cups with liquids (tea, coffee). In addition, sometimes fall off the buttons. In this case, the cause of failure is poor-quality assembly or increased load on the keys. Also, breakdowns include the failure of the plume responsible for data transfer, the demolition of the resistive section, the bends of the inner tracks.

Sometimes with serious problems it is cheaper to replace the device than to repair the keyboard of the Asus notebook . Avoid breakages will allow careful treatment and timely technical maintenance.
