This guide will teach you how to replace the keyboard on your HP 15-ay114cy laptop. This process is estimated to take around one hour and is a very invasive procedure. We recommend following the instructions exactly and taking pictures along the way to ensure screws and parts are reassembled appropriately. We also recommend the use of eye protection when using the metal spudger to pry the panel from the keyboard and a broom or vacuum to clean up the plastic dots after the fact. Happy fixing!
