Replacement from above
Some keyboards lift out from the top. Without complete disassembly, this is the simplest and least expensive option: labour from €40.
Are keys failing, typing on their own or damaged by a spill? We inspect the fault and select a suitable replacement: a separate keyboard or a complete upper case assembly. We agree parts and the total before repair. If the required keyboard or palmrest with keyboard is in stock, the replacement work itself usually takes up to 3 hours.
Opening hours: Mon–Fri 10:00–18:00Sat 11:00–16:00

Labour €40–100. Dust cleaning and fresh thermal paste when heatsink removal is required are included. The keyboard or keyboard/palmrest assembly is separate. Scope is agreed before repair.
Estimated budget: part + labour. These are our preliminary ranges, not fixed quotes for every model. Separate keyboards and palmrest assemblies are alternative options, not cumulative charges. Part code, layout, backlighting, availability and delivery affect the quote. The final total is agreed beforehand.

We check keys, ribbon cable, connector and system settings. A broken key mechanism, a failed keyboard and a board fault require different solutions. We inspect other damage after spills; additional repairs are not automatically included.
Where the design permits, we retain the palmrest. Access may require removing the motherboard, releasing the metal support plate and removing old fixings. We prepare surfaces, install the keyboard and restore appropriate support and fastening. Adhesive work is staged with the necessary curing time. Not every keyboard is secured by glue alone; the method depends on design.
The palmrest is the upper case surrounding the keyboard and hand-rest area. An assembly may suit a damaged case, unavailable separate keyboard or fixings that cannot be reliably restored. We check whether the touchpad, power button and fingerprint reader are included; contents vary.
The €40–100 labour charge includes dust cleaning. If the heatsink must be lifted to access the keyboard, we renew thermal paste before assembly at no extra charge. Some motherboards can be removed with the heatsink attached, so breaking the thermal contact is not always required. Materials are selected for the design.
We agree US, UK or another layout, Enter key shape, legends, colour and backlighting. Unlit, white-backlit and RGB keyboards are not automatically interchangeable. Different generations of the same series may use different parts.
We test all keys, main key combinations, backlighting, touchpad and startup. If cooling was disassembled, we check temperatures and fan operation. Keyboard replacement does not require deleting files or reinstalling Windows. Completed work carries a 6-month warranty.
Send the model code, keyboard photo and preferred layout. Dell Service Tag, HP Product Number, Lenovo MTM or the full ASUS code helps. With the part available, work is often completed usually within 3 hours; fastening, curing and delivery time are agreed separately.
