This video Is fake i think
@@Valerie2077- why
I'm too scared to remove the keys on my laptop, because this is my only good laptop I have that isn't falling apart XD
Don't... I broke mine
blaze that’s sad
@@AnshBSS yeah... :'( the "X" shaped mechanism on my ThinkPad's ⬅️ key broke. I just replaced it with the PgUp key's mech. DONE
God I’m scared one of my keys have crumbs in them and i don’t know what to do and it may be my last laptop
@@thatskaeru the ThinkPad was dad's laptop. I got a new acer, and my worst nightmare is when dog hair is about to enter the keys 😂 it's a very beefy laptop, but not the most well built. So imma just... Buy a lame silicon cover or something
or just ask your toddler how they did it last time :D
Bálint Udvarhelyi same situation 😂
lol
Pretty sure they stick theyre nail under it
right xD
LMAO
I love how its just the same instructions 6 times
xixixie make sure you watch it carefully.
Well, I have already broken 3 keys with this method, I truly am a boss
Thanks for the vid. I'm typing with a nipple shaped w key now. Thanks.
Update: I got a new laptop ya'll
Another update: Got a gaming rig, it's awesome.
lmao
LmaO

oof i feel bad for you
same here
I have two suggestions, first to the author, second to the visitors. First, the introduction of a removed key and the introduction of the receiving mechanism would be a plus especially with close large zoom. Much easier to remove a key if I know the fixing method. Unfortunately the fixing is not symmetrical and starting on the wrong side results in break. To avoid this I give my second advice to the visitors. If the opening side of the key is not known, then start with very gentle force somewhere AND go around in circle direction. If the first circle was not successful, repeat the trying with a very little larger force. And finally, I suggedt using plastic tool instead of metal screwdriver.
When the first key is out, study the fixing method and then you can use the force at the proper location.
Hey thanks.
same, cuz when i pressed "w" too much it stopped working LOL
this was really helpfull thanks!
I tried removing one of my keys to clean it but I didn't realize there was a stabilizer/staple looking thing connected to it, so I thought I broke it. Almost gave me a heart attack. xD
Thank you! That saved me a lot of hassle with my space bar. Note to other electronics students: Don't don't strip your breadboard link wire near your laptop! Plastic sheath has a nasty habit of rolling into and under space bars!
Legend!!!! I have been having this problem where some keys wouldn't press. I simply took 'em out using your method and put them back, now they work! So thanks man, now writing essays won't take years and playing Among Us will be so much easier now I can type.
Heyy how do u put them back in?
thank you so much! my "d" key somehow snapped in half so i ended up taking off a key that i have probably never used in my entire life to use as the "d" key. works like a charm
Yeah, it's just not coming off. I feel if I apply any more pressure it'll break and not snap back on again.
Not very helpful.
people please know that these methods have a high chance on perminately damaging your laptop.
please consider this tutorial i created for cleaning that is totally safe if you have spilled something sticky:
.get a thin edged sturdy material (thin edge of scissors, cream tubes etc.).
.cover the edge yo are using in a thin layer of alchohol\hand sanitiser.
.gently insert into the edge of the key and rub back and forwards a few times.
.do this for all four sides
.if the key is still a bit stiff repeat this process
have a good day :)
nice
Cover what edge with sanitizer
@@idk-lo9eh edge of the tool
ok but how do i tell if there's "unusual" resistance, it's not like i know what usual resistance is-
If its harder than usual to remove. Sorry for the late reply.
@@thekingkappa0 but those of us who dont commonly remove laptop keys don't know what "harder than usual" feels like
@@thekingkappa0 you literally just rephrased what this dude said...
unusual resistance means that if the keys do not come of easily. If you have to apply force then do not remove. You have to remove laptop keys delicately, otherwise there is a high chance of them breaking. Hope I helped.
Getting them back on is a different story.
putting them back is a cake, but i struggled witth the enter key
@@ayshafaridullah7798 is it really easy to put the keys back on?
It's actually pretty easy you just push it until you here a clicking sound
@@marksuckinbeard1419 im gonna trust u one this
@@neelanjanakhan8822 lmao im scared
Almost replaced my laptop keyboard because of some dust, thanks man
Really useful! Underneath my keys are crusty as hell so this helped a lot.
I can't believe this entire vid boils down to 'stick a screwdriver under it'. I just saved y'all three and a half minutes of your lives.
Thank you for the tutorial. This really helped me a lot. I thought I broke something (I was removing the star button to remove a large particle of dust which I saw go inside while cleaning), but luckily I didn't break anything. After I cleaned inside I snapped the key back into its place. It was quite satisfying to hear the 2 clicks when it snapped bacl into place. Cheers
Worked good on my HP Pavillion, the keycap snapped out much like in the video and the supports didn't seem to break.
A lot of people forgot to leave a like for this helpful doc, so reader, I encourage you to leave the thumbs up!
Worked on my HP pavillion too. I was disappointed that the user docs didnt have any instructions for this.
Thanks a lot! For some reason the keycaps of my laptop keep being randomly too hard to press. But by removing them the problem is solved!
They're probably acting like a suction cup and air is getting stuck in them. Removing them releases the air. Just a bad design. Maybe try poking a tiny pin hole, but that's just a guess and really not advising it lol
Broke off 2 of my laptop keys now I have to replace the whole keyboard panel. Good video
My key kept spamming whenever I tried holding it longer after its release. But when I took the key off I noticed there’s a slight hair underneath it. The problem was solved from removing it.
To put them back put the bottom part of the key on the "clips", then tilt it forward and push it down.
Thank you for this. My "M" ket would get stuck and make very annoying POP when it returned to its resting position. I popped the key cap off and there was some little tiny glob of mystery goo that was causing this. All fixed!!
It's amazing how many doifferent styles of key retainers they used on these. i have watched 20 different ones and none are like mine. I have ordered one keyboard and it was the right one ;)
I was a little worried doing this on my own laptop but i had success 👍🏾. Helpful video
I’m assuming he’s giving the wink indicating he lost the other eye prying off those keys
😂😂😂
... Gently it says in the video... gotta apply a little more than gentle pressure to these HP ENVY 17 keys. I knocked over a 44oz Dr. Pepper onto my keyboard of my new 2K$ laptop... But wait there's more!!! i decided i needed coffee after that... Yup, you guessed it... had to throw some coffee on there too. Dr. Pepper wasn't enough. But hey... i'm typing on it now. keys are just sticky AF... Thanks for the video.... I do recommend this laptop... I mean it stood up to hot and cold sugary drinks... Plus if all else fails, it's touch screen.
nice joke fam xD
No joke dude. Still typing on it now. After i googled a little more about it. i turned my laptop off. used rubbing alcohol to clean the keyboard and broke my volume down key... but ya it does work like when i bought it now. No more drinks around the laptop... thats my new rule. (as i have a cup of coffee on my right currently)... But ya in all seriousness... i don't see how this thing still works. Really nice laptops i guess. it was worth 2k for my accidents alone.
Hey me too does this works? My keyboard keys are sticky if i press it it slowly goes back.. im thinking of removing and clean it but is it worth the risk?
Man. out of all the keys on my laptop. i only broke 1. my volume down button... It was a fuckin pain in the ass bro. no bullshit. What i would do... if i was you, Turn your laptop off. if you can remove the battery do that. So you don't accidentally turn it back on.... Then i would get rubbing alcohol. and spray it on your keyboard. make sure not to turn your laptop ON while it's wet. it might short it out. as long as it's dry when you turn it back on. You will be okay. i would just scrub the keyboard with rubbing alcohol. don't like... pour it on there tho... just a light mist or put some on a rag and ring it out... don't drench your keyboard. then when you are done scrubbing it. i would gently take a blow dryer to it... thats just me tho bro.
Thanks im thinking does crc spray remove the sugary thingy??
Thank you! I had some trouble with one of my keys and I was just too scared, I thought I would break something but It didint.
I actually broke my left CTRL key trying to remove it. I thought I was very careful (and I'm usually good with electronics), and I used a plastic credit card but the keys are incredibly damn fragile. Thankfully it was under warranty so just had them fixed.... Never again will I try to remove it.
Buy something from ifixit. Don’t use a credit card.
yeah just use compressed air
it felt like it was gonna snap off but I just made sure I continued gently and I didn't pull to hard and it came off so if it feels like it's gonna snap your doing it right
WARNING! Doing this on any Assus laptop keyboard with units post 2020 is going to have a chance of breaking the bottom right slider holder on these cheapo keyboards. Doesn't matter how expensive the unit is, they've done something and now they're even cheaper than normal chiclets are.
I advise putting your index finger with the tip about middle of the keycap and give some back pressure as you pull up. Second advise is to use something that reaches under the key's lip, to put pressure about one third of the way. A bent piece of sturdy wire or one of those little ear wax remover "spoons" is what i found to work best, while putting the upwards (removing pressure) on the top right corner, then center. DO NOT let the pressure of removal put force on the bottom of the keycap, that's where it breaks. If you have see through keycaps, you can see exactly what you're doing with this move, and it's to disengage the clasps on the top of the keycap individually rather than making it pop in one go.
Im tired of these crums all over my laptop this video helped me fr just be aware that its gonna actually fling when you remove em. Putting em back is a piece of cake,my nails hurted after this becuz on how short it is just need sum long nails for that,each corner has its slick that sticks the key 4 of em and also small keys too so. When you feel like its gonna break go to another slick or if its your last slick to remove,press down the key that is under the key to remove it ez
Hello! I would like to know how to remove the spacebar button on a Galaxy Book Pro safely if its possible!
For the Razer Blade Stealth just apply lifting pressure from the very bottom of the key. Once the two holding clips have released on the bottom, then pull the key down towards the trackpad and it'll be free.
im so scared, is it safe ?
@@anjlooo If you do it slowly and very carefully, yes. You'd have to put a lot of force into it to break the keyboard connection, though if you pull just a little too hard you may break the connections on the key itself and have to buy a replacement key.
thanks man my S key wouldnt press very oftern but thanks to your method i got it working again thank you so much
Make a videos on how to put them back because now i can't
oh i have bad news then you broke it
yea
Great! Now how do I put it back?
that's the neat part you don't
My screen brightness keys are inverted for some reason and it was really bugging me
Remember, even if you think you broke something because you heard a crack, you most likely didn't. Most keyboards of laptops are just like that, so don't worry! Pushing on the key a couple of times will put it right back in place. You should again hear a few cracks then.
Oh great. How does it go back on?! xD
thekaitylue put it back on 🤦♂️
@@GoreHumanPudding it wont stay back on now
@@statickeepit100 it will it will pop back on
@@statickeepit100 Maybe you broke the white part which it attaches to
It will grow back

What is the advice to Enter Key. My keyboard is an Acer Nitro 5, American edition AN-515-54-5812?

Me: oh no

There are a lot of crumbs and stuff underneath my keys, but I don't want to remove the keys bc I am worried that I might snap one of the keys or remove it incorrectly
How do you remove the FULL KEY including the butterfly mechanism underneath? Removing the keycap is easy!
will this fix the problem of my backspace, enter, spacebar and backsplash key not working? I know it's the hardware, and everytime I use one of those keys, I get three letters or symbols. Thank you for your help
I really want to clean my keys but I don't wanna break it. I'm going to try removing the keys from my old laptop and update if it breaks or not.
So how?
is it supposed to make a snapping sound? Because my CTRL key made a snapping sound and the upper side of it is loose and cant be snapped back in.
I had to pop em from top on my laptop, and then tiny slide down, worked perfectly, thx.
