[@miladkassaie678]

Thank you very much sir, for this invaluable walkthrough of the surprisingly involved task of changing the keyboard. You are truly a gentleman and a scholar

[@evalrat1252]

Great tutorial. Finally someone that doesn't stop after the teardown with a "rebuild in reverse messege" but also the full rebuild. I followed it to the letter including forgetting the last flat cable before fitting the battery.

[@sunoftheeternalwill2899]

Very well done and helpful. Successfully replaced the keyboard on my daughter's laptop and I would never have attempted it without this video. Thanks so much

[@mr.midnight8230]

Thank you so much!!! Just repaired my laptop's keyboard using this tutorial :)

[@thisisemchii]

very good video. for those who didn't have an LED back lit keyboard to begin with. turns out, you HAVE to get the unlit one anyway. getting the backlit one will bring you headache, the unlit motherboard doesn't have the connection soldered in for the LED wire to connect to. the fans screw points don't align and the HDD doesn't align back into place. since i have no choice but to put it all together, i just mashed everything together somehow and closed it up. the keyboard works and all, but now the durability and ridgidity lowered and no LED lights. i guess i could solder the strip to the connection points carefully, but that's very very tricky and very unhandy. hope this comment saves someone's ass. i wish i could read this info somewhere before i ordered.

[@eddy3038]

Hey man, thanks a lot for the guide! You saved me a lot of money and I learned a lot in the process, it was also very easy to understand! The only thing I wouldve done different is to recommend folks to carefully sort all the screws and everything. I like to draw a circle on an A4 with a "daughterboard" or something, and put the corresponding screws there. It makes it really easy to reassemble for less experienced people like myself!

[@dwiatzka50]

I have loved Thinkpads forever and I really like my Y40, purchased many years ago and a departure from the Thinkpad line. I recently wanted to replace the keyboard with a backlit KB. This video is awesome!! It is sad to learn how badly Lenovo has screwed up IBM's tradition of making machines which are a dream to work on. This Y40 and Y50 design is probably the worst I have ever seen for servicing a keyboard!!! Keyboards often need servicing. What were they thinking?

[@sabrefv9997]

Thank you so much for this video. I know it's a while since you posted it but this helped me very, very much. Much appreciated. What a great video.

[@chrismartin1007]

Great video. I never opened up a laptop before and was able to fix my son's keyboard. Your instructions are perfect. Thanks!

[@nilanjanmitra7459]

3:00 Anything's removable if you try hard enough! Great video, by the way (good explanation and you seem knowledgeable)

[@noii1524]

If I replace my keyboard without light up to new keyboard with light up is it gonna work?

[@ionutanghel5041]

You sir are the MVP! thank you for the video.

[@tk421dr]

Y520 owner here typing with his mouse. Great video, you confirmed what I feared, the keyboard is welded to the palmrest. I spilled water on mine and now the num pad and some other keys are shot and my battery wont charge. Knocking on wood that its just my battery that needs replacing.

[@EngelhardtBrueder]

Good Video! 🙏🏼 Where can I buy the replacement?

[@embarreira1]

Thank you very much for your informative video. I was researching about swapping my UK QWERY keyboard for a DE QWERTZ keyboard and with all the information here I reached the conclusion that it is not worth the cost, time and risk. I dont understand what the engineers were thinking when they glued the keyboard to the metal surface, this was such a bad idea.

[@matejcingalek6582]

What to do if i cant put back wifi cable/ antenna?

[@FrozenFreeze-l3l]

Dude, you are awesome!! Thanks so much, great Tutorial and good way to show, take that abo❤

[@apurvtaneja]

Thank You!!!! I needed to replace my back cover with hinges. so this was very helpful. But it suck that we need to remove the whole motherboard to do so. Anyways Cheers!!!

[@CharlieArehart1]

Thanks very much for this. But at 16:40 you mention how we should test the keyboard before proceeding...but can you clarify? Or can anyone seeing this who knows? It seems we'd need to put everything back together to test it. Or did you/he mean perhaps test it with some other machine we may have? I rarely have to do this level of repair, so forgive my ignorance. Do you mean that keyboard conneciton ribbon is universal, and we could test it with about ANY laptop we may have (that's taken apart to the point we can disconnect its current keyboard)? Wanting to know before "just trying" things. :-)

[@lenko00]

Great tutorial. Just one quesstion. Where do you bought the replacment keyboard? Thanks for answer.

[@RyderFlorin]

I had a Lenovo y50 with the same problem. Keyboard failed and it uses the same system for the keyboard. It's a shame that the engineers couldn't come up/don't want to come up with a better solution.

[@graanschuur4267]

respect! what a shitty job for an expensive gaminglaptop ! no more Lenovo for me....!

[@guillermoespinosa8663]

Really great tutorial, it helped me a lot

[@Dunac]

I have replace my keybord on lenovo y520, and I am having problem with several keys like (E,G,H,9+,function) they are not working. It happens few time to start to work and after few minutes stop it. What can be the problem and how to solve it? I tried to reinstal drivers several times.

[@charlieacuna5332]

Thank you very much for the video ¿ Any tips to save my keyboard that some water spilled on it?

[@chillappreciator885]

Not as scary as I thought) Thanks a ton! Why not clean coolers from dust? It takes 30 seconds.

[@rohankulkarni939]

Any way to do it without the frame? I ordered just the keyboard before seeing this video :/

[@PtSp86]

Hi dude.. just one question since you're the technician. What's the right binary for the screws of the back panel

[@eymenmuftuoglu3785]

hello im having a problem with my laptop as well.i did not spill anything but after a year of buying my keys (e,g,h, fn, numpad 8 and 9) stopped working i've searched the internet and forums and could not find a solution.any ideas on how to fix this. Ihave the same model as in the video. Thanks

[@wine546]

Thank you for your video! Very useful. Where can I buy the keyboard with the mousepad? I can't find it

[@novelmartinez6154]

goddammit! what a struggle just to get to the keyboard!

[@stevejenkins8933]

I bought the Y520 And some specifics keys don't always work... Sometimes they work... Sometimes they don't... What should I do.. i have all drivers updated.. it seems to be a hardware issue

[@dominiquegellez5834]

Great video, it helped me a lot ! Thanks !

[@Sanjeep25]

[@gotzila]

Man where can i buy a full top plate?, so far i have a hard time to get that piece, i'm able only find the keyboard itself, not even lenovo support has it or best buy in my country =(.

[@blackzeno8579]

I got a y530 is it possible with it?

[@marcopg7286]

Cool vid!, helped me a lot, I want to replace my keyboard, I have a Legion Y720, i disassembly my laptop and find the same cover for the keyboard, with some plastic rivets, I want to replace only the keyboard, not the bottom case, it´s possible to replace it removing that rivets and then Weld with plastic? Thanks for the support :D

[@luisnunez7486]

Thanks bro. 💪🏼

[@victorgalvez927]

where do we order the top case? and how much it cost?

[@nicedollalex]

Hey! I was wondering how can I test the keyboard before installing it?

[@zacmiller3779]

Why did they have to rivvit the keyboard part?

[@comptechnyc]

Cuts the production costs compare to using screws

[@pabloescobar7398]

tell me size of four head screw driver you are using

[@gabrieliusstulga2304]

Thank you 🎉

[@aanaksengupta4278]

Hey can the keyboard for y520 be used for legion y720?

[@programci481]

Thanks guy!

[@PtSp86]

Anyway i can get a 144hz monitor and install it?

[@azertyqsdfg243]

Hi many thanks from France all is ok 👌 👌 👌

[@princeabhijitkokitkar876]

i have one key damaged ,actully the top case is damaged near that key

[@anceldev]

where can i buy the keyboard?

[@coma1496]

i really hate when companies do this, it's the only reason i haven't replaced my Y700 keyboard, because i'm scared that me or the repair shop will fuck it up

[@auauba681]

Hi sir.i want to by Lenovo Lenovo rescuer 15 15-ISK notebook keyboard backlight.how much

[@ezequieldaurizio797]

i dont now why lenovo put the keybord in this. the problem with keyboards is normally and the system its very complicated.

[@xbryant4697]

its a great video

[@tamej42]

cheaper than i think, 250 dollar for the palmrest in sweden. the laptop cost me 500 dollars....

[@chadhasc]

Hi, Plz confirm the part number.

[@federicoap5295]

I guess i am fine with ext. Keyboard

[@may_peck]

Thanks. Starlight Brigade sucks.

[@chojnal]

Typing in from a freshly replaced keyboard - thank you very much for a well made video tutorial.

[@sankaplays3098]

Its silly we have to remove EVERYTHING. Wow, wasn't expecting that - I am confident I can do it but this is worse than Dell laptops.

[@AmicomTV]

exactly. stupid lenovo engineer. its much much easier just to change/lift the keypad from the front side and not from the back.

[@samuelboboc7661]

At 16:15 you gave away your romanian roots. Helpful video BTW

[@dragosclc]

I noticed the keyboard cable being under the mainbord in the first second you put it on the case and I watched it to see when you'll realize that. But good work anyway.

[@horie6380]

Hey, thank you for ur video, i have a y50 from Thailand and replace the keyboard with US language, AND some keys did not work, can u help me with any idea?

[@chrism7898]

Using my new, now fully functioning keyboard to write this message to say thank you for helping me fix my laptop! Amazing video, thank you! :)

[@TheRoloe]

Very nice video. That saves one the expensive repair service. However, it is not necessary to remove all cables from the motherboard. Likewise, the graphics card does not have to be removed completely. It is sufficient to loosen the screws, then the mainboard including speakers, graphics card and power connector can be removed. So it's enough to disconnect the ribbon cables and the WIFI connection.

[@SupraBot78]

At 13:42 isn't there any conductive part under the main power button? I wish I see the other face of the MB. Today my Y520 screwed up, I disassembled it and all I can find out is the main switch button can not close the circuit on the MB for powering up.

[@ImConfusedVoteForErdogan]

where can we find top case have u any link for it ?

[@SpaceX412]

You’re amazing and respectful man big thanks to you, so please tell me can you ship a keyboard like this one you working on it, to Iraq?! Cause I searching and don’t found it

[@TercesGarret]

Nop Nope Nope, Lenovo makes it's laptops already too broken, I think I'd rather buy an external keyboard. Besides I only have one slightly faulty key, and mostly wanted to replace it for one with backlight. Not worth the risk. I'll just make my desk larger and use external keyboard. Still, very informative. Thanks for the video.

[@artamanas]

Hey man, you forgot to pull out keyboard connector to motherboard, it's literally seen on 31:48, here was your video cutting edit. That mistake costs about 20 minutes to unscrew all screws and start from beginning. Pls do this comment on top to make other people see it.

[@WTMADU]

can you tell me where can i buy the top pannel for Y520-15IKBN

[@tomasrazgus7331]

It's interesting because when i screw the middle screw inside the cover, my laptop view turns off. Than i need to reclip battery wire in order to screen to work. Any suggestions?

[@chrism7898]

What is the product that you used? I've looked for "Top case" but can't find results, is it known by a different name?

[@utacity]

Great video. Good details. You might let us kknow what toolkit you use that is good for doing this work. Also what kind of watch are you wearing?

[@GeorgeCarlin88]

Lenovo Keyboard Replacement without keyboard replacement...

[@mvxi.20]

hello, my "G" key is not workin unless i push it very hard, what should I do?

[@Sam-sh7el]

i have see the cut at 31:49 ( the keyboard connector ):P but thanks a lot for the Video :)

[@Righteouness]

Is AliExpress the only distributor for this laptop?

[@thegees]

i think you mixed up 'keyboard' with 'entire bottom casing'

[@dawnheart4436]

Does this also work for the thicker Lenovo legion pro models?

[@X-IMG]

Great tutorial. Does anyone have a source for QWERTY top plate . keyboard for Legion 5i Gen 7, 15" ? i guess it's a similar procedure for newer models too?

[@LogsGaming_]

Hi, can you also make a video on the power button replacement of the same Lenovo model? In my case, my power button in Y520 is not working, when I press it, it doesn't seem to click. A tutorial about the replacement will be highly appreciated. :) PS: I am using the NOVO button and it seems like it will not last longer a year.

[@Sautron]

Thank you so much. I did it, thanks to you! ❤

[@MsLincos]

Wow!👊💪 Thank you sir!

[@ByRabbitGMG]

[@kennywinters7972]

Super Happy you just made this 72 year old surfer guy here in California! Just ordered the complete top board. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

[@veronakibe]

Hey, thank you this video. I am looking to replace my keyboard as well for the exact same model. Where would you recommend I get the spare for it. I have been looking for one.

[@ferespinosa96]

[@th3-sleepjar103]

[@cats__wine]

Broo nice jobe, i broke my keyborde, and i need to order the new one, but i need to finde FRU code for keybord, can you help me !? :) thanks in advance and bes regards from Montenegro ! :)

[@rolandsequeira]

hate these new designs, older dells inspirons had easy ways of keyboard replacement from the top which could be done in 2 minutes even without a screwdriver..

[@nk8815]

thank you......

[@patriciavaradin5627]

My keyboard is broken. Is it possible to unplug it and just use an external keyboard without replacing the original one?

[@DerekGoooo]

when talking about the keyboard falling back into the motherboard at the beginning of the video, could putting paper under it prevent it?

[@علييوسفحسين-ر2غ]

and made us a video to clean up the screen and fix the laptop speakers and adjust the frame screen all this belongs to the lenovo y520
