Hello, I recently took out my keypad and broke the connector black piece on the mother board. What is the best solution to fix this problem, because now the keypad ribbon cable is not locked in. Is there a place I can purchased the little black piece or do I need to buy a mother board?

thanks

Hi. I need to know if I can get to the CPU fan by removing the keyboard like that. Great picks and description but hard to see below the board on the photos. Thanks

Very cool…..my wife broke off a key – griped and cried for a day – I found and bought a replacement keyboard for $35 – and installed it in about 15-20 minutes. She’s happy – I get to go back to watching soccer – thanks for the instructions…..

Thanks so much for posting this material! I just fixed my wife’s inspiron 1525 using your detailed photographic instructions. It works perfectly again! I’ve never opened up a laptop until today so I really appreciate all of the information.

Hello,

I am going to attempt to install a new keyboard on my Dell Inspiriion 1750, however, I am concerned that this may be in vain since the keyboard’s J key is broken and I hope all it needs is a new keyboard, the button J keeps pressing indefinately

[...] to the motherboard because the webcam connector is already there. But it will be necessary to remove the keyboard and take apart the laptop display [...]

bala,

Every 5 start of the laptop one will be associated with an annoying beep sound.

This sounds like a problem with the keyboard. Apparently, you have a stuck key. First of all, I would try replacing the keyboard.

I have DELL Laptop 1525 T8300, 220 GB hard disk, 4 GB RAM. After the warranty period got over I am finding some problems with this laptop.

1) Tab key stopped working.
2) “Left side Shift” key + A stopped working.
3) Every 5 start of the laptop one will be associated with an annoying beep sound.
4) The cursor automatically starts traversing. Example: all the links on a browser page, all desktop icons and quick launch etc.

Is the laptop totally screwed up? I formatted the laptop, no use. The problem still persist.
Will changing the Keyboard solve the problem?

Please help.

Thanks.

corey,

I just replaced my keyboard and it keep’s beeping when I start up.

Did you buy a brand new keyboard? Maybe your new keyboard is defective and it has a stuck key?
Try pressing on different keys when the laptop beeps. Find out which one is causing the problem.
