When it comes to Acer laptops, one certain thing is that at some point in time you might have to remove the key from the keyboard. What complicates this matter is the fact that the integrated structure of a laptop keyboard doesn’t afford the user recklessness when keys are needed to be removed. The entire process is very precise and care must be taken lest some major physical damage should occur. Acer laptops, in general, do not contain strong architecture-at least when it comes to a keyboard. Therefore, you need to be a bit extra careful.
Fortunately, Laptop Service Centre has got a much easier method to perform the required task. While it is still advised that the user asks for assistance in such matters, the following steps still help to remove the Acer laptop keys without damaging it. What is more relevant in the following steps is that you won’t need any additional tools to remove the keys.
Open up the laptop. Make sure the system is completely turned off. Now, on the keyboard peripheral, press down upon the keys below the key you want to remove. This process creates a large maneuvering area to remove the component.
Now, use your index finger-nail to press upon the key-to-be-removed from the side in the upward direction. At the same time, keep your thumbs firmly pressed on the keys below. Make sure that both of your presses are not damaging to the system. With enough pressure, you would hear a snapping sound indicating that the component is now loosened up.
Get your hands on a pair of tweezers. Once you have access to those, gently pull out the loosened key from the keyboard. Once removed, place it in the clean area. Furthermore, you will notice that there are some plastic pieces still attached to the component. These pieces are called the retainer. You need them to re-insert the component back in the keyboard.
And voila! The key is now removed. This step, while easy is pretty rudimentary and despite our claims might still pose a threat to the peripheral. Therefore, to be on a safer side, you should get in touch with Laptop Repair Centre Melbourne through their toll-free number 1800-431-354. This way, not only you will have access to much simpler procedures, but with some effort on your part, you can have access to complete replacement as well.
