It helped me to remove a couple of the keys when screwing/unscrewing the screws, to avoid wedging the screwdriver too tightly in there and ripping up all the plastic on the keys & keyboard frame

Thanks I never would have found out how to do it without this video.

Thanks! My favorite part was when you evidently spoke into your armpit or something during the first step of installation LOL

Clear and concise instructions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this Robert. A few notes that I learned: when pushing the keyboard up with a flat head, don't use too much force. I destroyed a keycap this way by slipping. Also, when pushing the rubber grommets out from the front, it's good to know that you can't 'aim' directly at the spot between e.g. F12 and Home, as there's plastic between them; you need to choose a side (left or right) to get at the grommet. Only a flat head worked for me to push the grommets out, a spudger failed.

thank you. this is very helpful. in other demo, they dont say about the 2 rubber lock at the back.

Thanks a lot. I changed it within the second view of your video. Thanx

Thanks for the video. Saved me from myself when swapping out a T450 motherboard.

Bro thank you my keyboard was not working but because of you I knew how to connect it and it works now

Thanks for this! It was a bit difficult getting under the plastic tray, but much better than cutting the rubber into pieces with a knife while digging from underneath, like the official service manual suggests.

Thank you so much. Clear and usefull, in my case :)

Thanks for this! Just fixed my son's hand me down T450 👍👍👍

such a big help! thank you so much

In trying to remove the stoppers (I didn’t use your way because I couldn’t figure out what you were doing unfortunately), I pushed one of the stoppers back under the slot. Now I can’t see or reach it. Will this be a problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi Robert, got a slight issue as I removed the old keyboard as it had the return key missing (forth time it had sprung out of the keyboard) and I had an issue with key responses not working as I had taken the laptop over from old job. When I removed the laptop the two white clamps that you click up to release the small and large ribbon cable both just fell apart, so I need to find a place that actually sells them. Lenovo just says it comes with the system board. So screw that idea of scrapping a decent mother board for the sake of two plastic clamps. Do you have any idea where I can get two replacements so I can install the new keyboard. By the way I have tried some of the solutions already, such as cutting a small piece of plastic and using this to clamp the cable in. Doesn't work. Also someone suggested a hot wax/heat gun but if you use this and it does not work you can pretty much kiss good bye to the connectors and motherboard. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

excellent video! thanks for helping!!!

Anyone else still have this great machine?

Thanks for the solution nanba..நன்றி 🙏

Very useful for me.. Thank you

On new replacement keyboards there's a blue plastic strip on the bottom with some padding that fits into a groove. Unless this is removed, the keyboard won't install properly. Not having installed a 450 keyboard yet, this was a sticking point for me until I figured that out. Other than that, this is a great video and was very helpful.

5hank you for this no nonsense, straight to the point video. I could fix my kids' keyboard in less than 5 mins!

Thanks my friend!!!

Great ! Thank you a lot :)

THANK YOU!

Thanks very much it ! It's video help me.

What a savior! The red nipple thingy was drifiting and for some reason with Linux it ignores the BIOS setting for the thing to be off so what I did was unplug the cable of that stupid red nipple thingy!!! I know it has a name but whatever. Thanks!

thanks bruh, this worked :D

very clear, very pro

Great, thanks.

Those lil rubbers are actually far easier to remove from the back, but whatevs.

Is keyboard backlight?

Bobbly good video, many thinks for posting this.

Make a video for ips panel upgrade on t450

Sir E480 keyboard price kya hai

thanks brother

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good brother

Thanks for all

Darn, I was hoping ThinkPad keyboards were a fairly universal design so I could replace my T450's keyboard with the one from my now dead L480. Guess not :(

I'm going to have to remember that term, "knobbly bits" Love it, so stealing it. oh, it bobbly bits, screw it, I'm using both

Thank you!,,,,,

When you get the pegs out part way you can grab them from the back with a fingernail, don't try grabbing them with a knife. I never could lift the cover high enough to see them in there. Ok now I just pray this solves the issue they are soft

Tanks

THXXX
