How to replace the keyboard on a Portege R500/R600

Hi,
I would like to replace my keyboard, I'm going to buy a new keyboard soon. I've done this flawlessly with multiple laptops before, but for the R500/R600 it's not comletely clear how to lift the old one out properly.
Are there any screws to remove (except the one on the side) or is it "just lifting it out"?
Thx!

> thanks, that kind of confirms what I was afraid of. Do you happen to know more, or know where I could find more? If there is no other way out I'll send my laptop to an ASP, but I really don't like missing my laptop for days so if it would somehow be possible to replace it myself that would be much better...
> Very helpful answer anyway!
Unfortunately, this is everything what I know. A friend of mine has got such R500 and the ASP changed the keyboard because he spilled a fluid on the keyboard.
I talked to him and everything what he said was that there are some double-sided tapes
However, the R500 is really a nice notebook and it would be really pity if you would damage some other notebook parts during the keyboard replacement.
And to be honest I doubt that the replace would take a longer time
So in my personal opinion I would take the help from ASP so you would be on the safe side

Where is the manual on how to replace the keyboard?

I thought this would be a simple google search but that's not the case. Any mix of the words "replace t500 keyboard manual" or similar just turns up forums posts, so can I ask where I am supposed to find this?

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

Satallite A100: How to replace the keycaps?

Is there a manual on how to replace the keycaps after they come off?
My Satallite A100, one year old, lost two keycaps a few weeks ago, and I am unable to replace them, although I have all the (little) parts. It got even worse when some more came loose recently when my little son peeled some off, using the room created by the already missing keycaps.
Thanks!

Hello Mike
Reading your posting I can not understand exactly what is wrong with your keyboard but removing and putting in place keycaps (plastic with written symbol) is not problematic. You must just put it right in place and gently press it down. You will hear click and the keycap will be in the place again.
Under this keycap is placed small plastic mechanism. It contains two small plastic parts. If they are removed from the bottom you can put them inside again. To see how it looks like remove keycap from any other key and see how is it placed.
I have done the same now and with a little bit patience you can put it in the right position again.

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.

Qosmio G50-10J: How to replace the Optical Disc Drive (ODD)?

Hello there,
the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 is not working properly anymore, it reads only some movie-DVDs, but sadly no videogameDVDs at all, so I cannot instal any games.
The warranty has already expired too. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the drive myself, if it is then how should I do it, and if by doing it would the laptop be in
serious risk of getting damaged?
I would be very thankful for every tip and every help you guys can give me!!!
Best regards,
a.z.

Hi
In different cases the ODD replacement is not very tricky.
If you want you can check this forum category.
Here you can find some videos how to replace the ODD on different notebook models:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=115
Here is also a nice Youtube channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:

But maybe the ODD laser lens is dirty. In my case I could solve similar issue cleaning the laser lens using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol.
But be careful doing this!

In word , if you press "alt" show you all the options you have . Appear numbers or letters in each options of the toolbar. So is more easy to work with the keyboard. How do you do this in pages?
Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then select Keyboard Viewer from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen. It will show all the special characters you can make when you press the alt and alt + shift keys.

Help! How to hide the keyboard in app...

I was bidding on an item in the free ebay App (provided by Ebay v 1.6.1 and the keyboard would not hide and I could not place a second bid. I had made one successful bid and then on a second bid (about 2 minutes later) the keyboard would not go away and I could not submit the bid - only enter a dollar value. It was beyond frustrating watching the time tick down and not being able to place a bid.
Please someone tell me how to hide the keyboard. I tried everything I knew how - tapping the screen, shaking the iphone, exiting out and coming back in and refreshing the app. Nothing would get the keyboard to go away and allow me to touch the submit bid button.
Thanks in advance and SORRY in advance if this is in the wrong forum!

Well the ability of how the keyboard shows and hides is a function of what the developer of the app made. Sounds like a bug in their program or just bad usability.
This is a topic to discuss with eBay as they developed the app. Their code has to control how things happen. Normally leaving a field to type in will make it go away, but if they didn't provide a way to leave focus, then that is a usability issue on their part.

How to replace the certificate of Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller for CAPWAP ?

I have interested in CAPWAP feature and I download the open capwap project to make Access Controller (AC) and Wireless Terminal Point (WTP). I had built the AC which used PC and WTP which used Atheros AP. The CAPWAP feature work well when I enabled the CAPWAP that used my own AC and WTP. When I got the Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller (Cisco WLC), I configured the Cisco WLC to instead my own AC but I got the authorize fail in Cisco WLC side. It seem the Cisco WLC could not recognize the CAPWAP message which sent form my own WTP. I think this issue just need to synchronize the certificate between Cisco WLC and WTP.So I need to replace the Cisco WLC's certificate manually. Does anyone know how to replace the certificate manually with Cisco WLC ?
Best Regards,
Alan

Unfortunately this Support Community is for Cisco Small Business & Small Business Pro product offerings. The WLC2106 is a traditional Cisco product. You can find this type of support on the Cisco NetPro Forum for all traditional Cisco products.

Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.

How to open the Keyboard

I want to add more ram but dont know how to open the keyboard.

Is your PB Aluminum? I ask because you posted your question in the Aluminum PB forums. If so, you don't install RAM from under the keyboard. You turn the computer over and unscrew the center mounted plate.
If it's Titanium, instructions are here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=26245
