As above... I want to remove my laptop and replace a keyboard
for my Hp G42 but then there is no video tutorial of it nor any
info of it from google and youtube... I want to save time to go to
HP and ask them to replace for me plus is costly...
Follow the advise of the forumers. If you G42 is still under
warranty go for the warranty to replace the keyboard -
it will be free unless it's physical - aka balding keys -
which in some cases are fixed free on a case by base basis.
Anything related to under the keys aka below the alphas - the white
plastic connectors from the pcb to the keys are considered interior
parts.
(It seems new since it's an i3 core)
You will be voiding any warranty if you do it
yourself.
Anyways. I have seen a Fujitsu engineer disassemble a keyboard
before to replace it during an on site warranty, and I highly
reccommend you not to do so. You literally have to unscrew from top
to bottom (aka remove ram, remove wireless card pins, disconnect
the mainboard etc.)
HP offers a free delivery service back to your
house once it's fixed so you don't have to go down to
collect it. So please don't invite trouble and cry for help from us
when you finally brick your laptop.
