I have an Acer Aspire 5739g laptop that I've bought just about a year ago now, and have a few issues with it.
Mainly the keyboard. This keyboard is atrocious; the keys are spaced far apart so there are huge gaps for debris to get into, the keys are really weak and pop off (even the metal clip part on a few keys are bent just from normal usage! Wtf?! My 2 and 5 keys are bent and are hard to press down), and they're very glossy which attracts fingerprints, dirt and stains very easily.
Anyway, I'm wondering a few things:
- is it possible to actually install a different keyboard on a laptop? Or are laptop keyboards built specific to its model?
- can I send a laptop back to the manufacturer to get the keyboard entirely replaced? (with no other work done)
- my keys damage extremely easily; once they pop off, they stay off - the plastic holding it usually breaks, and the metal thing that the plastic clips onto bends easily. What is the best way to clean my keyboard if I need to do it myself?
Answer
Keyboards for laptops are actually typically very easy to install. However, you need a keyboard that will fit your laptop.
I've actually replaced one for a similar model. It required popping off the top plate(where the power button is) and unscrewing like 2 screws, detaching a cable then undoing everything with the new keyboard.
