Laptop Keyboard Replacement
Keys stuck? Spilled coffee? Missing letters? We can replace single keys or the entire keyboard assembly to get you typing perfectly again.
Stop Struggling with Broken Keys
A faulty keyboard ruins productivity. Whether it's a single key that won't pop back up, or an entire row of letters that stopped working after a spill, it's frustrating.
We stock keyboards for: HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, and Apple MacBook. We can even source backlit and foreign layout keyboards (e.g., US or Spanish) upon request.
On modern laptops, the keyboard is often riveted to the palmrest. We have the specialist tools to replace just the keyboard, saving you the cost of replacing the entire metal chassis.
Keyboard Services
From one key to a full deck.
Single Key Repair
Missing a plastic cap or the scissor clip underneath? If we have a donor keyboard in stock, we can often clip a new key on for just £10-£20.
Sticky Keys
Spilled drink? Sugary drinks make keys stick and crunch. We replace the keyboard mechanism to restore that crisp "click".
Full Replacement
If multiple keys are dead, we replace the entire keyboard unit. This is the most reliable long-term fix.
MacBook Keyboards
We repair MacBook butterfly and scissor keyboards. This involves stripping the entire machine, but we are experts at it.
Backlight Repair
Keyboard working but backlight dead? We can fix the backlight layer or the motherboard connection powering it.
Trackpad Issues
While we're there, if your mouse trackpad is erratic or not clicking, we can replace that too as it sits right next to the keyboard.
Why Not Just Buy a USB Keyboard?
Carrying a separate USB keyboard defeats the purpose of a laptop. It's bulky and inconvenient. A native repair brings your laptop back to its portable best.
Common Causes of Failure
- Liquid Damage: Even a few drops can corrode the conductive traces under the keys.
- Wear and Tear: Identifying keys (WASD for gamers, Enter/Space for typists) wear out mechanically.
- Dust/Crumbs: Food debris gets stuck under the scissor lift mechanism.
Keyboard FAQ
Common questions.
Can you replace individual keys?
Yes, IF the clip underneath is not broken. If the metal hooks on the keyboard base are snapped, the whole keyboard needs replacing.
How long does it take?
External keyboards (clipped in): 30 mins. Internal riveted keyboards (most modern laptops): 1-2 working days.
My keyboard types random letters
This is usually liquid damage or a short circuit. It requires a full replacement of the keyboard unit.
