How to remove and replace a key on Acer Aspire laptop keyboard.

Removing and replacing keys on Acer Aspire laptop's keyboard may require a small screwdriver for precision. Keyboard keys of Acer laptops designed for easy removal and replacement. If your key snaps out by accident you may find it difficult to put it in place because the key retention mechanism may be assembled wrongly. This video will show you how to remove and then replace a single key on Acer Aspire laptop keyboard. The retention mechanism is quite small and I apologize for shaky and sometimes out-of-focus picture.

I would like to thank you very much for helping me fix my key, i was going to cry because i thought i broke it and my mom would have thrown me out of the house if she found out, by this video, i successfully put the key in and no one knows i almost broke a key. Thank you for saving a kid that was about to be homeless.

Awesome! I broke my 'e' key awhile back. Just dealt with it, even went so far as to just use my gaming laptop instead. However when traveling without my other keyboard, it always reminded me how much it was still broke. Thanks for helping me fix this successfully!

I cannot recommend this tutorial enough. Thank you SO much. I had something stuck under my netbook key, pulled it off, and couldn't figure out how the pieces worked, kept turning them upside down, turning them the wrong way. Your step-by-step disassembly and reassembly got my keyboard back in perfect working order. Great job, man!

This was the third video I came across on this topic, and the first to show real planning. You thought about what needs to be explained, and you found language that made sense. You recognised what needed to be shown, and ensured we could see it. The quality was not just in the camera work; it was throughout. I have a backspace key to replace, which I note from another correspondent is supposed to be tricky, with its U-shaped device. I'm less adventurous than she, and would benefit from a video on specifics here, also.
