RiskiFixes – Lenovo Legion Y530 Keyboard Replacement

Well, I tried and failed. I have neither a heat gun, nor a variable temperature soldering iron. Tried it with what I have, a wood burning iron, which is functionally identical to a soldering iron. My idea was to turn it off once it started melting the plastic, and turn it on again when it got too cool. Plastic ended up sticking to the iron bad, making it difficult to get the new keyboard in place due to all the missing plastic. Had to melt the waste plastic onto what was left of the tabs to form the rivets again, and even then they were brittle when cool. After that I find out the keyboard I installed was faulty, or I damaged it during my shoddy install (several keys don’t register unless pressed very hard and double type sometimes).

I’m going to put a Bluetooth keyboard on top of my keyboard and call it good. I don’t think I’ll attempt this again without better equipment 😅

The only thing worrying my about doing this are the plastic rivets. You think its possible to remove them like you did with a blowdrier? I saw in another video someone removing the rivets with a box cutter and then soldering when reassemblying, but I was unsure if he was using solder and if thats ok for the laptop.

Oh this isn't something I'll be doing. Might as well throw the whole god damn thing away

Not difficult task?omg 😅

Thanks alot for a detailed walkthrough i did same and achieved great results

Yang design posisi keyboardnya GAK PUNYA OTAK !!!!!
