Can I replace the keyboard of CQ56-115DX?

Hi,  I have a brand new CQ56-115DX. It comes with a non-standard keyboard which makes typing quite inconvenient---I am used to the standard keyboard and frequently hit the quick  launch keys when I need to use "Tab", "Shift" and "Ctrl".
This is very annoying to me.  I would like to replace the keyboard with for example: the keyboard for CQ61.
Can you let me know if the CQ61 keyboard would be compatible?   If not, is there any other compatible standard keyboard that I can use?   I know how to replace the keyboard just need to find compatible parts. Thanks.

You can find list of compatible parts for this model over here

  • Can you replace the keyboard of a MacBook Pro without replacing the logic board?

    I had a bit of water damage on my MacBook Pro. I took it to the IT department, and he got the computer to work. The logic board and hard drive were intact. Here's the issues I'm having: the keyboard is next to  destroyed. The buttons barely respond, and when they do, it's random letters that type, and they type without me pressing anything. I asked him about replacing the keyboard and what that may cost me. He told me that replacing the keyboard would mean replacing the logic board because they're integrated together, so essentially, that would mean replacing the entire laptop itself. I've been looking on here, and have seen that people offered other uninformed customers to go look for replacement costs for the keyboard, leading me to believe that it is replaceable without replacing the logic board. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim? I would greatly appreciate it. I gave the laptop to the IT department for the weekend. He's going to dry and dry it out over the next few days, so hopefully that works. I don't know what generation macbook this is, but I got it brand new in early October. Thank you very much in advance.

    Why? Maybe he's ignorant and/or just didn't care to look into it? IDK
    Look at the illustrated installation directions at same site. You may be able to do it yourself.
    Overlooking details: with spillage, things can go wrong that aren't immediately apparent. Just something to keep in mind. No one can tell you if that's the case with yours or not.

  • Can i replace the casing on a 5G with a 6G  case?

    can i replace the casing on a 5G with a 6G  case?

    I wouldnt suggest doing that type of modification.  Apple will not do that for you.  If you are intent on that keyboard and your MB Air has bluetooth spend the extra $20 and get the wireless one.

  • Can I replace the keys on a MB air with keys of a different style?

    So I'm in the market for a MBA, but I'm not the hugest fan of the keyboard. What I am a huge fan of is this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg . I type on this keyboard every day, and it has quite literally become the highlight of my day. Something about it is just so... intuitive. For those who haven't used it, it uses the same key style as the white MacBooks of old, but with a metal background.
    My question is this: can I replace the stock keycaps on the MBA with the ones from the other Apple Keyboard?
    Will this require an extensive amount of service from Apple, or can I do it myself?
    Any and all help is appreciated- thanks for reading.

    Hi there @vishnupraneethr 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    In answer to your request, I am attaching the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. Within you can find the procedure for replacing the keyboard correctly, as well as as the part numbers for the supported, compatible keyboards. Check on page 59 of the manual for the list of replacement keyboards, and the replacement procedure.
    Unfortunately, from the list, it does not appear that any of the options are backlit.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can I Replace a Keyboard(N on-Backlit ) with a Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion 17-f053ca Laptop?

    Can I Replace standard Keyboard(Non-Backlit ) with a Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion 17-f053ca Laptop?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately no available part for the series:
         http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04402649.pdf
    More manuals:
         http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-17-Notebook-PC-series/6936220/model/7200385/manuals
    In this case, you also need to replace the mother board (means buy a new machine) because you need connectors for all those lights.

  • How can I replace the cursor in the below query?

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.

  • How do I move the alphabet keyboard on my iphone 5 iOS 8?  It is stuck on my DropBox app., I can't slide the keyboard down.

    Well, as an AT&T user, APN settings are governed by the carrier file, and we cannot change them. I've not used the configuration utility, so I'm "dumber" than you! See if this support document will help you out any. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4839.

  • I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

    I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

    Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
    If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop.  I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys.  I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part.   I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys.  Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards?  This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price.  Also, need a new AC Adapter charger.  I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w.  Is this accurate?  I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct.  I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit.  Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate.  Thanks. 

    Hi:
    My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.

  • Can I replace the 20G drive in a 2070NR to have two 1T drives?

    I have an Envy 17 (2070NR) and it has a 1T drive and a 20G drive.  Can I replace the 20G drive with another 1T drive?

    The second, 20g drive is a flash module that is designed to speed up the system and hold important files so that the mechanical hard drive is not accessed as often, leading to better battery life, etc. blah blah. I am not sure the 20 gig drive is a standard SATA interface. You might want to look here:

    You will need the hard drive caddy for a second drive I believe.

    After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

    try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu
