The instructions and pictures combined, made this an easy task. Useful warning given on step 6. Whole process took no longer than 10 mins. Feedback typed on my new keypad. Thank you.

I love you so much right now. If not for your second picture in step seven, I probably would replace a perfectly good motherboard.

Best Buy was going to charge $30 for a keyboard from Dell (if available) plus shipping, plus $50 for labor to replace a Dell 1545 Inspiron keyboard. Found a replacement keyboard by Pwr+ on Amazon that cost under $20, and using your instructions here, had the old puppy swapped out and the new one installed and working inside of 4 minutes. Took me longer to find where I’d put the screwdrivers. 🙂

THANK YOU!

Just for the record, the keyboard connector part you lift at a 90 degree angle is BLACK. I just found out the hard way. Ugh.

Thank you for the detailed instructions! My daughter spilled “water” on her laptop. After taking apart “water” it wasn’t! Water isn’t sticky! Regardless, ordered a new keyboard for $12.00 and replaced with ease with your instructions and we have a working laptop again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
