Miss­ing keys? Sticky keys?
Keys not work­ing? Not to worry!

We see a lot of dam­aged lap­top key­boards here how­ever we get them all fixed,  and for less than peo­ple think!

Most repairs are done the same day or the next day.
In some cases we need to order parts that we don’t have in stock, but this nor­mally only takes a cou­ple of days. Bet­ter than most other repair places that take months!

Key­board repair? How?

Depend­ing on the prob­lem with your key­board, there’s a cou­ple of dif­fer­ent ways to proceed.

  • For miss­ing key­board keys:

We stock a lot of key­board keys and can replace them pro­vid­ing there’s no dam­age to the metal clips on the actual board of the key­board. This is the most com­mon prob­lem and is the cheap­est way to repair a lap­top keyboard.

Some­times we don’t have the keys and need to order them. All this means is that the repair will take a lit­tle longer (like a car garage need­ing to order a part for your car). In this case, depend­ing on the cir­cum­stances, you can col­lect your lap­top while we wait for the parts. (A deposit will be required).

  • For sticky key­board keys (liq­uid dam­aged keyboards):

This is the sec­ond most com­mon prob­lem with lap­top keyboards.

Some­times we can repair the key­board, some­times we can’t. It’s all a case of how bad the liq­uid dam­age is, how much liq­uid was spilt on it, what the liq­uid was (sug­ary liq­uids are the worst), and where it’s actu­ally reached on the keyboard.

If we can’t repair the key­board, we can replace it. We do stock quite a few types of com­mon key­boards but obvi­ously there are many, many dif­fer­ent types. If we don’t have your key­board in stock then we can order it for deliv­ery. Again, you could leave a deposit and take your lap­top (with a USB key­board if needed) so you can return it when the replace­ment key­board has been deliv­ered to us.

  • For keys not working:

There are many dif­fer­ent causes that stop key­boards work­ing. Some­times there has been liq­uid dam­age that you don’t know about… Maybe some­one spilt their cof­fee on it and is try­ing to hide it! (Actu­ally very common…)

Most of the time a replace­ment key­board is required. It’s basi­cally the same sit­u­a­tion as “sticky key­boards”, described above.

What about cost?

Unfor­tu­nately with lap­top key­boards we can’t quote a price or do fixed price repair.

This is because there are so many dif­fer­ent lap­top makes and mod­els. Some are cheaper than oth­ers, some are very expen­sive, some are easy to find and some are almost impos­si­ble (Sony Vaio!).

The most com­mon lap­top we replace keys on is Acer, Advent and sim­i­lar makes. The most aver­age cost of these lap­tops is £6 per key.

The most com­mon lap­top we replace whole key­boards on is Acer, Advent and sim­i­lar makes. The most aver­age cost of these key­boards is around £45 all in.

You will need to get an exact quote off us, though! So get in touch.
