Utilize this guide to remove or replace a keyboard that is no longer functioning correctly from a Lenovo IdeaPad Y500. Creating a backup for your hard drive is recommended in case of damage caused during keyboard removal.  Unplug the computer before any further steps are completed to avoid damaging components of the device.

After removing the old keyboard, repeat all steps in reverse order(starting with the final step and finishing with step 1) to reassemble your device. Consult your local regulations concerning the disposal of electronic waste materials.

    • With the laptop upside down, open slightly.

    • To remove the keyboard, push the back of the keyboard forward with your thumb while pulling away from the laptop on the other side.

    • You will not be able to pull the keyboard completely away. The cables are still connected to the laptop.

    • To release the cables, use the spudger to push both ends on the side of the cable.

    • Gently pull the cables up to disconnect.

    Under my keyboard is just a solid piece with no cables behind it, they all run to the bottom of the keyboard where the clips are here…it is very odd. Any suggestions? I do have a Y500 and everything else looks the same up to this point.

Not sure if removing all components was really necessary just to replace the keyboard but I still did it and succeeded in replacing the keyboard. Thank you for great and detailed instructions.
