How to Repair Dell Laptop Keyboard Keys

Dell makes a large number of laptop computers, and one of the main
problems with these computers is that the keys can become stuck or
damaged. There are several different ways you can repair a damaged
laptop keyboard as long as you know what the problem is. After trying a
few different things, you’ll find that your Dell keyboard will be
working as well as it did when you first bought your laptop.
Step1

Buy a can of compressed air and spray it on the keyboard if your keys
are sticking together. This is the easiest thing you can do to fix the
keys on your keyboard. It doesn’t work for all problems, but it’s a good
place to start. Make sure you get the air down inside the keys to clean
out any debris, hair or food that may have gotten caught in there.
Step2
Replace the inside of the keyboard with a new piece. One of the major
problems with Dell keyboards is that the plastic pieces holding the keys
in place become loose or broken. You can find a cheap keyboard from
Wal-Mart or an electronics store. Simply take apart the new keyboard,
pull the keys off your keyboard, lay the plastic piece on top and
replace your keys.

Step3
Use a small dab of super glue to replace keys that have fallen off.
Dell laptops often have keys that fall off, especially as the computer
ages or is used quite frequently. Place a small dab of glue directly on
the round part that holds the key in place and lightly press the key
down. When the glue dries, you’ll be able to use your laptop again.

Re: How to Repair Dell Laptop Keyboard Keys
also, you might want to include
the option of saving wear and
tear on the attached keyboard
and use a 7.00 usb keyboard
whenever possible, mouse too.
