My computer is an HP Pavillion dv7 It is a Refurbished DV7-1245 DX. What kind of keyboard do I need to buy to replace the old one? Where should I go to buy one? Is it easy to do yourself?

You cant take shortcuts here. Every keyboard is different. Remove old keyboard and get original HP numbers off it. Can use Amazon search or Ebay, et al for replacement. Don't buy from China even if cheaper..returns are rarely honored. Save old keyboard in case you loose a specific key.

If I understand the question correctly, the keyboard was the same as the one I replaced. It worked great and fitted in perfectly. The laptop was not mine. The person I did it for was happy and the keyboard still works with no problems.

Thank you. You should be able to discuss this with the manufacturer as to why the letter vanish. I am sure I can buy a new one, but I had a keyboard for 10 years that was still quite legible. The one that came with the PC is shabby. Also, please tell me why this computer is listed now at $845.00 ... Did I receive a used one ?

can't tell. What model number do you have? Go to HP's website. Click the support link, input the correct info, and download the user/ service manual and check the part number for the keyboard. This one matches HP part #483275-001. Good luck

As far as I know, this keyboard has been discontinued, so u might want to find another, current keyboard.

I do not know if the specific CPU is suitable for your computer. May I suggest two things: (1) Remove the desk top tower cover, and write down the manufacturer, model number and specifications located on the power supply label; and (2) Do a website query to "HP Customer Service". This second step will provide an easy-to-navigate screen to insert your Pavillion model number and inquiry regarding power supply. It should provide the information you need, with a link (pictures and instructions) on removing and replacing your power supply. This is the process I used when my HP Pavillion P6110y power supply died last year. As a final recommendation, unless you are somewhat computer savvy, replace your power supply with matching specifications and form/fit as the original. I wish you well!

I'm not sure whether it is or not. My computer is the Pavillion DV7-6c80us, so it's probably similar. If you want to be safe, why not copy the battery number AND your laptop model number and send a message to HP via their contact tab? That should prompt an authoritative reply.

Hi The keyboard part number for your model is PK130c93 please check this note, Genuine Acer Aspire 5736z Replacement Keyboard PK130C93, compare or look for the part number to be sure is the correct for your computer, the one you ask me will be to risky to buy since your model is not listed in the comparable models, is possible will fit but will be a risk.

I also had same type of problem. Some of my keys were not working in DM4-1265dx after tea spilled on the keyboard. I got keyboard from Amazon and replaced by getting help from some YouTube videos. Now it is working fine. You may please search the website for video demo on replacement of your particular keyboard.

After reviewing an HP G72 on here it would seem to have the same keyboard. I'd give it a try. Were not exactly talking about and expensive item, eh?

Mine is an ASUS G60Vx but there are 3 slots at the top of keyboard that you stick a small common screwdriver or jeweler's screwdriver into and pry gently up. The whole keyboard pops up on mine from the top. Pay attention to the electricl connections so you know where to put the replacement connections. I've only ever done mine so I'm no expert.

the keyboard was not compatible with my model. When I asked to exchange it, the company wouldn't. They told me it was compatible, which I assure you, it wasn't. I had to go through Amazon to get a refund. I ended up buying the part from Hp. Sorry I can't help.

Yes. There is one under the keyboard and one under the memory panel on the bottom of laptop. If not their both under the memory door on the bottom of the laptop. I would open it up first to see what you have. Most likely you will replace both. The keyboard screws are label with a K and you can probably find instructions online on how to remove keyboard if need be.

No. The listing does not show it will replace keyboard KB34211. Each keyboard lists which type it will replace. If it is not listed, it will not work. Please check and see for yourself. You may need to go to a search engine and type replacement keyboard and then type in the information. You can also ask someone at Best Buy.

I do not know what your talking about, I would contact the seller regarding warranty from who ever you buy it from, but what I will tell you don't buy that china junk thatdoes not fit, and that D7 board has the three screw sockets that have to beperfectly matched, so who ever sells it to you make sure they take returns,the ones I have replaced is because of missing keys, there is really nothinginside that breaks, so if it fits and you test all the keys, its good forthe life time of computer. hope this advice helped you.

I would only buy what is made for my computer just to be sure that it fits. Here is a link for a keyboard for yours...http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00205L9FS?tag=adapas02-20
