I followed along and my keyboard is now installed and working perfectly. Thank you for a great DYI videol

This is a brilliant video and enabled me to replace my old keyboard with a new one. There were 4 keys not working, but now they all work. Many thanks. I'd like to add some tips that I learnt that might help anyone else taking on this task. 1) All base screws are T4, and the 4 which run along the base at the opposite end to the hinge are extra short and do not need to be removed - just loosened until they click when you turn them. They won't fall out as they are held in with locking washers. 2) The heads of the plastic rivets can easily be cut off using a narrow wood chisel. 3) There are also some rivets underneath the black plastic sheet on the keyboard backing plate which connect to the keyboard and grill beneath it. If you peel off the sheet, they can be chiselled off quite easily. 4) I stuck my old rivet heads back on using some ABS dissolved in MEK. 5) You don't need to remove the speakers completely -just lift them up to access the edges of the backing plate. 6) Although my laptop never had a backlight, there is a connector which the backlight lead from the new keyboard now goes into - the lead had to be fitted copper side down (white line up).

Used this tutorial and another video showing the teardown of the Lenovo flex 5 1470 (my laptop) to replace this keyboard. Part costed me $26 USD with tax, I cut off each individual rivet with a plastic ex-acto knife and soldered most of them back on with the soldering iron. Attached the rest of the plastic rivets with JB-Weld, I let it sit overnight and put the laptop together after 24 hours. everything works great, thanks for the tutorial

Thanks for this video... I was stuck after seeing such contraption of keyboard clamping, your video helped me to come through.

Great video, made replacing my keyboard possible. Once I'd got the keys out I realised that it was going to be easier to replace the whole keyboard/trackpad assembly, but this video still gave me all the information needed to reassemble my laptop and it is now working again. Keep up the good work 👍👍

Thank you! This helped me replace the keyboard on my Lenovo ideapad Flex 6 14iKB.

Did the extra ribbon on the new keyboard have anything to do with backlighting. The ordinal keyboard did not have that second ribbon?

You had to use a solder to remove the keyboard from the palm rest itself but didn't solder it back on. Did I miss a step? Is it not required?

I have Nitro 5 from Acer but that for its keyboard replacement they had to replace the whole top, as they said that it is the best option. They told me that if I replace just the keyboard, the keys won't pop out properly so I had to change the whole top. Are they right?

I am going to order external keyboard since the laptop will probably last (for gaming, use at home only) not longer than 2-3 yrs and then it goes to rubbish anyway. Last model by Lenovo for sure, the inside design is extremely poor for DIY people

FUCK WHY ARE THEY USING PLASTIC TO FIX IT ??? IS SCREW TOO COMPLICATED ?!?!?!?

One of the most stupid setup of keyboard in Lenovo
