How to replace a laptop keyboard
1. Find your PC’s service/repair manual
Service and repair manuals are instructional guides created by manufacturers to give both the average consumer and the professional technician insight into how to repair a machine’s specific parts.
Traditionally, service/repair manuals feature step-by-step instructions that translate complicated technical processes into understandable layman’s terms. Before diving into repairs, you’ll want to make sure you have a manual handy to ensure you’re bettering the problem rather than making damaging mistakes.
The downside is that these service manuals aren’t available for every machine on the market. Some manufacturers are better about packaging service manuals with products than others, so locating your laptop’s service manual may be incredibly easy or impossibly difficult. In fact, newer laptop service manuals are typically more difficult to track down.

The upside is that the internet has become home to all the information one needs about their particular machine. Modern manufacturers are much more likely to post PC manuals on their website online in a standard PDF format that is completely free to access.
You may even be able to track down the information you need with a simple Google search. Archive.org is an excellent resource that maintains an extensive database of service manuals on their database. You may even consider using other external resources like ManualsLib, another archive database that may be housing the manual you need.
