The Keyboard Replacement Guide provides the steps for removing the Chromebook’s keyboard. Removing the keyboard is required to access the internal components of the HP Chromebook 11-v019wm.The difficulty of this guide is moderate due to the removal of two Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) ribbon cables connected to the motherboard. The keyboard may need to be removed or replaced if the individual keys are faulty, the touchpad is faulty, or if there is a requirement to access the internal components of the Chromebook. Before replacing the keyboard due to a Touchpad issue, ensure all troubleshooting steps have been completed in accordance with the Touchpad Section of the Troubleshooting Guide.
Removal of the keyboard will expose the internal components of the computer. These components are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive components. It is important to ensure that an anti-static wrist strap and anti-static mat are used to prevent ESD from damaging other components inside of the device. For proper use of the anti-static wrist strap, refer to iFixit’s “How to set up your Anti-static mat and wristband” Guide.
