Hi! I have a 2 year old HP laptop presario. The KEYBOARD is starting to go bad. For example, the "R" has to be struck a certain way before it will show on the screen. Can the keyboard be replaced or repaired?Absolutely. You may be able to pick up a replacement keyboard on EBAY - that's probably the cheapest way of changing it. Having said that, it may be possible to repair it. Taking a laptop keyboard APART is a RATHER delicate operation, and unless you are fairly competent in that area, it's not wise to attempt it. It's probably best to find someone locally who can do it - you don't want postage costs on top of repair costs.

Does this help?Thank you so much!! Is it best to buy the keyboard myself on ebay and take it to a repair person, or should I let the repair person buy the keyboard. Definitely cheaper to buy the keyboard on eBay yourself. The repair person would just buy one off the manufacturer = much more expensive as a rule.


I don't suppose you live anywhere near CHESTER in the UK, do you?
Unfortunately I don't. I live in Georgia, U.S.A. How long are your arms Rob?
