Einleitung

A keyboard is necessary for any computer, laptop, or even typewriter in order to operate them. It is key that the keyboard is working at the highest standard so that the HP EliteBook 8470p can be used properly. If there is an issue with the keyboard, it needs to be repaired or replaced.

This 75% form keyboard uses a QWERTY layout and has a pointing stick.

This guide requires the battery and service cover to be removed before starting.
