Finally I can clean my stuff. I was a bit scared to just pull em off.

[@nrod480]

Thanks for making me feel badass while workin on a simple thing

[@ARPTakao]

So I have a problem where my Z has broken all clips, and left CTRL is about to fall off. Should I clean off underneath the mounts before putting the new ones on? If so, what do I use and how?

[@isdx9980]

The shift key on my Nitro 5 stopped working properly due to sprint slice cancelling too many times lol. Not sure if I can find these keys, will have to replace the entire keyboard perhaps.

[@metamaster6535]

The white rubber grommet is attached to the keyboard in my case. The hinge mechanism is broken. Have ordered a new one. Is it possible to put the hinge mechanism in with the rubber grommet in place?

[@Hunter-zf3je]

Question my key cap came off but the hinge is still on the key cap. Should I remove the hinge from key cap and insert it back? Ps I'm using acer nitro 5 an517-51

[@powsinwosin6808]

My d key was having problems, it had a very small dust build up, after cleaning it wasn't as good as it used to, but it was more responsive. I wish he showed how to remove the white thing

[@kurushi857]

Where can I order loose keys to replace? I found a site but they charge like 15 bucks a key, which is super expensive considering I have 7 keys to replace...

[@19.darcyy]

U can also pull out the switches and put another ones like transparent ones ? I want rgb on my keybord and I have this variant where the Keys are just red. PLS SOMEONE REPLY FROM ROMANIA BTW

[@lusian1980]

tysm! my W and Shift keys were kinda sticky but I was scared of getting rid of the keycaps. it was kinda gross under honestly..

[@mindruns2646]

What key would an acer nitro 5 an515-58-79a5 use? Which one on the site will work? My hinge broke as well

[@n1k0arii1]

Thank you so much! This really helped a lot! :D

[@MaryMaker1950]

Thank you so much for this video. I bought a new keyboard to replace my grandson's because so many keys were worn or coming off. But I quickly realized that would be too much to try. Then I found this video and took the keys from the new keyboard and replaced the ones on the laptop and it looks like new.

[@hannanfuadgamersindonesia6153]

Bro i broke 1 clips when release the enter, but its ok for my laptops?because when i press the button enter its normal no weird feedback or something

[@billyclyde1932]

The retainer clip is stuck in the key itself. Any tips on how to get it out. I checked everything else, and nothing is broken, the clip is just stuck in the key itself

[@Handsome1300]

[@dylantyler201]

Hey the link to the site to buy replacement keys is not working, says that I don't have access, can this be fixed or perhaps another site can be reached?

[@writerinrwanda]

Perfect, thanks. If you remake this, it might be worth showing what to do if the two white plastic pieces of your hinge have come apart. That happened to me. I had a white piece of plastic with a square hole and one with a round hole - which are combined in your video, but it took me a while to see the tiny holes inside the square piece because they're so small. Once I'd fitted them back together the rest was easy with your video.

[@siur.trzeci5084]

same happened to me

[@itoldyou6398]

Thank you! I never would have noticed the holes

[@robertparrott7068]

Your comment was more helpful than this video

[@resetffudge5533]

How to do if that parts broke??

[@kyllianhl3127]

i can't put the key back in ..

[@Shiruvi]

i'd been struggling with unfortunately separated white inner pieces (protip: when a very young relative wants to help clean, put your laptop away BEFORE letting them use the handheld vacuum) until the advice of keeping the flattest side facing me in this video, along with the general clear orientation of the pieces. i was able to move the pieces around until they lay together almost completely flat, then easily snapped the tiny little side nobs into the tiny side holes to secure them in place. then it was super easy to slot them into my board and put my ; key back into use.

[@some1sum1]

can anyone help me, my hinge is connected to the keycap when it fell off (A) key

[@kirun13]

thanks! helped a lot

[@pintocto]

I needed a closer look at the hinge bc I accidentally detached it lol, vid was helpful ty :)

[@user-xf7mu7ub9d]

I had your same problem and you need to be extremely careful with the hinge because it's probably one of the most fragile piece of a keyboard (trust me, I had the same problem a few years ago and I accidentally broke it). By the way, you need to find a position where you're able to place those little things at the same time (I don't know how to explain it properly) and know that it's going to take you some minutes.

[@tyson141]

I was trying to replace left ctrl, But i can't cause for some reason the hooks don't fit the butterfly thingy. I have wasted 3 hours of my time. Can you do an updated tutorial but for the LED newest gen nitro 5???? with the dark inside cause i'm so frustrated

[@Captain_Man_with_poop]

I just need a little help with replacing the spacebar any ideas on how to do it? It feels tough to press it. Like the left side is very tough and you cant press it but the right side of the space bar is somewhat fine. So, do you think replacing the space bar will make this problem go away?

[@mallikarangan1893]

heya .... i got literally the same problem! left keys are soo hard to type ... i have to use wireless keyboard and it's not very convinient... so yes if anyone got any ideas pls help us both

[@lorra0559]

i have the same problem

[@pinchyass217]

my control key came out and won't go back in :( only the bottom of the key will click and the top won't. please help

[@earthtoIauren]

I did all this, but my key cap keeps popping off. I get it into position, press down, and it feels like it'll stay... then pops off again. Any ideas what I did wrong? The hinge part is staying secure, it's only the black key cap itself refusing to stay on.

[@jasmachugh4222]

I got the hinges back in but my keys won't connect to them so when I press on them the keys just pop back out

[@grandtrunk5416]

Hi. I'm not sure if I should, because parental supervision, but I need to clean of my spacebar. Should I follow this tutorial? Or do I just take off, clean, and somehow put back on.

[@slippxrywtf]

Yeah that’s what I did but you have to be careful

[@Zarogan]

My R key clicks weirdly (feels kinda sticky sometimes, not always). Is it safe to remove it and reinstall it using this method? Or is there damage done to the key while taking it out (since the point of the video was to replace it with a new one). Thanks in advance, I just don't wanna break the key and be stuck without the R letter.

[@SeaBirb]

did you figure it out? same issue here.

[@Zarogan]

@@SeaBirb not really, I just ended up buying a mechanical keyboard and hooking it up. Not an ideal solution but I always use my laptop hooked to a monitor.

[@JovanKK]

@@SeaBirb did you figure it out? same issue here

[@SeaBirb]

@@JovanKK unfortunately, I couldn't figure it out, so I'm stuck with a weird feeling key, at least until I decide to replace the whole keybourd.

You can definitely safely remove the keg an put it back!! Just be gentle!
