This is a brilliant video and enabled me to replace my old keyboard with a new one. There were 4 keys not working, but now they all work. Many thanks. I'd like to add some tips that I learnt that might help anyone else taking on this task. 1) All base screws are T4, and the 4 which run along the base at the opposite end to the hinge are extra short and do not need to be removed - just loosened until they click when you turn them. They won't fall out as they are held in with locking washers. 2) The heads of the plastic rivets can easily be cut off using a narrow wood chisel. 3) There are also some rivets underneath the black plastic sheet on the keyboard backing plate which connect to the keyboard and grill beneath it. If you peel off the sheet, they can be chiselled off quite easily. 4) I stuck my old rivet heads back on using some ABS dissolved in MEK. 5) You don't need to remove the speakers completely -just lift them up to access the edges of the backing plate. 6) Although my laptop never had a backlight, there is a connector which the backlight lead from the new keyboard now goes into - the lead had to be fitted copper side down (white line up).
Used this tutorial and another video showing the teardown of the Lenovo flex 5 1470 (my laptop) to replace this keyboard. Part costed me $26 USD with tax, I cut off each individual rivet with a plastic ex-acto knife and soldered most of them back on with the soldering iron. Attached the rest of the plastic rivets with JB-Weld, I let it sit overnight and put the laptop together after 24 hours. everything works great, thanks for the tutorial
Well done! Don't forget to subscribe, Bro.
I followed along and my keyboard is now installed and working perfectly. Thank you for a great DYI videol
Thanks for this video... I was stuck after seeing such contraption of keyboard clamping, your video helped me to come through.
Glad I could help, Hope you will subscribe to this channel. Thanks for your support.
Great video, made replacing my keyboard possible. Once I'd got the keys out I realised that it was going to be easier to replace the whole keyboard/trackpad assembly, but this video still gave me all the information needed to reassemble my laptop and it is now working again. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Thank you! This helped me replace the keyboard on my Lenovo ideapad Flex 6 14iKB.
Always disconnect the battery first before touching the display connector!
I have one of these and it works like a gaming beast!

You had to use a solder to remove the keyboard from the palm rest itself but didn't solder it back on. Did I miss a step? Is it not required?
thanks for this !
No problem!
thank you sir !
Did the extra ribbon on the new keyboard have anything to do with backlighting. The ordinal keyboard did not have that second ribbon?
very nice job. Liked the video very much
Thank you! Cheers! Hope you would subscribe to my channel. Thanks for your support.
I have Nitro 5 from Acer but that for its keyboard replacement they had to replace the whole top, as they said that it is the best option. They told me that if I replace just the keyboard, the keys won't pop out properly so I had to change the whole top. Are they right?
Very good ❤
perfect, thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome, thanks for this great video....May i ask you if the backlight is working too now ? it was without before right ? so the motherboard is backlight ready ? thank you
Hi, Mate. Thanks for your time and the comment. yes this motherboard has backlight keyboard ready. and yes it was working with the new keyboard.
@@thepcphone thank you so much bro ...you made my day ;-)

Where did you buy the keyboard, my replacemtn guy put a non backlit keyboard on mine
Keys "3" and "e" are not working. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't so should i just remove the keyboard ribbon cable, clean it and fix it inside again. Will it work?
Where can I get the replacement to buy?
Do you know if I have to replace my whole keyboard from what i did? I was getting under keys, and broke on of the hinges and it came off, its detached from the other one, the key thing is completely fine, but i need a new hinge for the key. Thanks for the help, im just a kid who needs help.

Hi, i have a question. Will the keyboard backlight work if I replace my regular keyboard with a backlit keyboard? The required connector is on the motherboard as well as on the laptop from the video.
someof the model coems with the connector and some of them doesnot. without led commector you would not be able to see any backlit.

Hello not working any key in my Lenovo s340. Please give me your valuable opinions sir🙏🙏🙏
hi, great video, how much would it costt to do this??
LESS THAN 60 GBP
what is the size of the screwdriver used to unscrew the small black screws in the beginning?
Torx T4 for all 10 base screws (NB the 4 small ones don't need to be removed, just unscrewed as far as they will go), then cross head screwdrivers for all internal screws.
@@alanmorris7155 haha I appreciate your reply. thankfully I was able to figure this out before and I'm typing with my new keyboard.
How much does it cost to replace a laptop keyboard?
sir, how about just cleaning the keyboard by wiping? does it work?
car wash is better
I need help
Mene abhi naya Lenovo IdeaPad s145 laptop liya hai usme backlit keyboard nahi hai to use replace karke backlit keyboard daal sakte hai kya
Nahi hoga! Motherboard me esa back-lit ka connector nehi hoga uskelia!!
@@thepcphone thanks
Why not use a magnetic screwdriver to help rather than tweezers?
Other than that, great tutorial. Was going to try it myself, but looks WAYYYYYYYYY too complicated! :-D
thanks for your advice and in future, I would use one. it looks complicated but believe me, if you give it time and follow the step then its gonna be easy and simple. Good luck.
it shall be a challenge 😉[very poor design (access), in some laptops it goes like a module to replace a keyboard by opening just the top of the laptop and 4 screws signaled as keyboard, takes some 5 mins]
Hi, where did you buy this keyboard model? I've been looking for one for my Ideapad s340-15 and I can't find any
Hi, I did get it from eBay UK market. First search on google and then the Google would suggest you some local site. By the way it's not easy to get the part. Hope you would find it soon.
First think first disconnected power cable from battery to motherboard.
i ordered colored "rubber skin" for the keyboard from china but if i do this i dont think im going to get the old keyboard back. why they made that change so hard. with some laptops you only need to remove motherboard and thats it. with this model you need a flask. that sucks.. sorry about my english, its not my native language.
Keys are coming off my idepad s340 14api. Where can i find replacement keyboard?
Your reply will be appreciated

I have the same problem. Did you ever find out where to get it?
I just bought the same model and there is no keyboard light option out of the box.
But when u changed the keyboard does new keyboard light turns on? should i do the same?
please help me I can't see the light icon on my spacebar.

Thanks for the video.
if your old keyboard did not show up any light in past then the new keyboard would not help ! press the fn key and try to find if there is any light sign. Strange issue.
Thanks you for your reply.
i had to do research on keyboard light option and i find out that my keyboard doesn't have light icon on space bar.
but i ordered new keyboard with backlight icon on space and i will be watching this video again for replacing my keyboard.
thanks for the great video.
@@prem2743 he plugs in the KB light at 33:45 in the video. I had no KB light option before the repair but the new KB had the light and worked perfectly after connecting it. To turn it on press Fn+ .
@@prem2743 did you replace the keyboard?
Could anyone tell me what kind of glue is he using?

What did you mean the keyboard replacement part? I would say please order the right part as the layout of the keyboard most of the time looks the same from the outside, but the flex cable are different most of the time. Happy to help! Hope you would subscribe to my channel! Thanks

Sorry I don't have any.
Pain in the butt. Lenovo, thanks a lot! Never again.

Ok, so I need much time to do that 🙈

Where is ram option and can I expandable?
Yes you can expend the ram try to open the back chassis, and you would find the slot for DDR 4
But num not working
Terrable finish

I am going to order external keyboard since the laptop will probably last (for gaming, use at home only) not longer than 2-3 yrs and then it goes to rubbish anyway. Last model by Lenovo for sure, the inside design is extremely poor for DIY people
FUCK WHY ARE THEY USING PLASTIC TO FIX IT ??? IS SCREW TOO COMPLICATED ?!?!?!?
One of the most stupid setup of keyboard in Lenovo
