Clevo x7200 keyboard removal

Hello again guys,

I'm having this problem and it's been killing me. I've recently spilled some juice on my keyboard and it obviously started acting weird afterwards. After leaving it a few days untouched, though, it appeared to be ok. However, after a few hours I noticed some letters on my kb were still not working.

So I decided to open it up to take a look and see if I could still save it. I've opened a few notebooks before and know a thing or two, but I can't for the life of me open up the keyboard part of the x7200. Can anybody tell me how? I've checked online and can't find anything!

Thanks again

 

Try some of the steps found in the x7200 Owner's Lounge.

 

Are you looking to remove the keyboard from the computer or take the keyboard itself apart?
If you're looking for just the removal of they keyboard you can download the instructions here X7200_ESM.zip follow the instructions which start on 2-11. There arent instructions on how to take the keyboard apart.

 

Omg, that's it!
Thank you so much, Hutsady@XoticPC! Exactly what I was looking for!!! I am just looking to remove the keyboard, the whole thing.
Alright, I'll give it a go and I'll let you guys know how it went!
Also thanks to jclausius for the suggestion!

See you soon!

 

Alright, so here's what happened...
Opened it, took the keyboard out and found out I couldn't save it without opening the keyboard itself to clean the internal sheet... However, I'm pretty sure I can't open it without ruining it, because it seems it's put together through plastic welding. So whenever I pluck the pins out, I can't plug them back in, does anyone know about this?
Right now, I'm lòokìng or options to buy it online but I don't k`now the name of nor where I could buy it. Can you guys give me any suggestion?

Thanks again for the help! Took me around 20 minutes to type this with the KB... :/

 

I would take the keyboard, and run it under hot water. This should remove any of the sugar causing the shorts. At worst this will ruin the keyboard. At best, it will fix it. I know it sounds stupid, but I did it to my wifes notebook keyboard and it worked like a charm.

Just ensure that it dries completely before putting it back in the notebook. Also this has worked on my iPod nano. Ideally you would want to use deionized water, but I don't think buying it is worth it. deionized water just won't have any minerals in it that could dry and stick to the keyboard. Or alcohol would work. But you would need a lot. My guess is that just holding the keyboard under hot running water will work.

If worst comes to worst and it doesn't work, you can reach out to one of the resellers here and order a new keyboard.

 

That's interesting! I might just try that, but I really worry it might ruin it for good and Ill be out of pc.
Have you got a clue of who i could ask around here about the price of a new one? Just in case things go south...

 

Any of the posters with gray names. They are resellers.

Alright, so it's really gone
Tried running steamy water for half an hour to no avail.
As of now, lookìng for a new one...

 

Was it still giving the same symptoms? Did you give it a ample time to die? Is it completely dead?
