Einleitung

If certain keys on your keyboard fail to work or if it isn't working properly according to your laptop's Device Properties, keyboard replacement is probably necessary. However, this guide also acts as a predecessor to speaker replacement. Thankfully it is a simple replacement that only requires the use of a plastic opening tool.

    • Set the laptop facing you with the screen open.

    • Using a small plastic opening tool, pry off the keyboard starting at a point closest to you and working around the perimeter.

    There was a screw holding the keyboard in place on my X140e. You have to remove the bottom cover, then look for an M2x8 screw between the hard drive and the memory slots. There’s a keyboard icon alongside the screw to help identify it.

how can I buy a keyboard for my lenovo thinkpad x140e laptop?

The keyboard for the X140e is the same as the one for the X130e and the X131e and the X121e.

It is FRU 04y0379

Buy the keyboard on eBay.

Just as a note, there are two screws that keep that keyboard held in place. You need to remove the back panel and take out those two screws, otherwise you’re going to have a tough time. Also, you really don’t need the pry tool, once those screws are out, the keyboard slides off. The rest of the process is spot on.

Don’t forget the screws, otherwise you will never get the keyboard off or worse damage it during removal
