Einleitung

If your HP ProBook 450 G4 keyboard is being unresponsive, there might be debris underneath the keys or there could be a faulty connection between the keyboard and the computer frame. The easiest way to fix these problems would be to clean the underside of your keyboard with an air compressor or to replace your keyboard. Before using this guide, make sure that the Filter Keys accessibility function is turned off. Sometimes this function can accidentally get turned on which can make it seem like your keystrokes are not being registered. To turn this function off, hold the right shift button for eight seconds, or disable it from the access center in the Windows control panel. If the Filter Keys accessibility function was not turned on, follow the instructions in this guide to safely and properly remove your laptop’s keyboard. Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop and disconnect it from all power sources.

    • Use the spudger to press down on the two black tabs that are underneath where the hard drive used to be.

    • Apply pressure to the black tabs until they release and pop out.

    My tabs(ProBook G4 455) did not release. The keyboard wasn’t attached to them at all. I ended up breaking one tab before simply popping out the keyboard from the other side(followed a YouTube video to figure out this step).

    • Orient the laptop so the keyboard is facing upwards and towards you.

    • Insert the spudger in between the edge of the keyboard and the computer frame.

    • Slide the spudger around the edge of the keyboard until the keyboard is loose.

    • Gently pull the keyboard away from the body of the laptop.

    • Do not pull the keyboard all the way off because there is still a connector cable underneath that needs to be disconnected.
