Laptop presario/Strange Request!
Hi everyone,
This might sound like a strange request, but I am looking for a couple of keyboard keys for a compaq laptop. The usual, I rang Compaq spare parts and was informed that I needed to get the whole keyboard ( $50.00) I was told also I would have to get someone to put it in.. I guess it is one off those items that you are not supposed to fix yourself. (Very LOL) What I have is a Presario 2100 laptop, I have damaged two keys and they are; a control key(ctrl) and the other a fn key (in blue) on the left hand side. Anyway I suppose this is a longshot (and the strange request) but maybe someone has changed their keyboard and miraculously kept the old one? felicityzz |

I have just looked at it and changing the whole keyboard is very simple going by the manual. It calls keyboard removal and replacement "User replaceable":You only need a phillips head screwdriver - and some patience. -- Regards Echy Greetings from Melbourne, Australia www.thatsmelbourne.com.au |

I'd appreciate it if you could sent the .pdf manual to . Thanks! Chad |

If you are trying to get the keyboard off its simple.. Take the two
hinge cover screws out of the rear (port side) Then you can pull the power button panel off. Rest is self explainatory.... |

I was actually trying to get to the motherboard to repair the power
recepticle. Found the manual online HERE and was able to drop a dab of solder on the loose connection. *Whew* saved the several hundred bux they wanted for a new Mobo. This manual is good for the following PCs: HP Pavilion ze5200 Notebook PC HP Pavilion ze4200 Notebook PC HP Pavilion ze4100 Notebook PC Compaq Evo Notebook N1050v Series Compaq Evo Notebook N1010v Series Compaq Presario 2500 Series Mobile PC Compaq Presario 2100 Series Mobile PC Compaq Presario 1100 Series Mobile PC I also saved the .pdf to my own website, in case it ever disappears from HP's site. See Here I hear this is a common issue with these laptops. The fix is quite easy if you take your time, keep track of the 3-dozen or so screws and know how to solder tiny little things. |
