It only takes a couple minutes to replace the whole Keyboard & it would be safer. It is very easy to break the keys when you take them off and you don't want to ruin a perfectly good keyboard. Look online to find the proceedure to replace the keyboard. Most Dell Laptops are very easy to replace it. I would NOTtake the cance of breaking the new key.

Hey Jazzy,I don't have to have it repaired, I just have to re-connect each time I turn on the key board, which is a little inconvenient. Hope that helps, it's a real nice keyboard!

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

I'm holding the original keyboard right next to the replacement, which I've already installed. The keyboards are identical. Matte keys, look painted, when I run my finger over the letter, I can detect a faint texture, just like on the original. Frame between the keys is glossy.

No The case has a key blank shank built in that you will have to get cut to your old key. Some hardware stores can do this. About $12 for me.

Hello, and thank you for your patience while I looked into this for you. I called MESA directly to confirm that these come with a back up key, as there have been instances where no backup key was included. MESA said that all shipments going forward for this model safe should include a backup key in case the electronic keypad fails. Thank you for your inquiry. We would love to help you with your order! This safe is also available on our website. Please feel free to visit us anytime! Kind Regards, Andrea - indeHomes 317-660-5150

Since the Keyboard is so cheap. If you can't find the strip, just buy another keyboard for the part. Then you can use the extra keyboard for parts.

I have not had to replace the key! However I would think you can! I Also looked up replacement key for the cut off switch and did find one.

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.

There is a ribbon with a connector on it coming from the trackpad area. I unplugged the old keyboard and plugged the new one in. No extra ribbons were required.

You can't replace the keys, and it's much easier to just replace the keyboard. Also remember you can plug in a regular usb keyboard from a desktop computer to your laptop so you can continue to use your laptop till you get your new keyboard in. Keyboard is pretty easy to install yourself. Just be very careful.

Yes, you can replace the keyboard alone. Be careful with online instructions. I snapped off the fan connector from the motherboard because of online instructions that were confusing on a pry point. I found someone to repair that. Also you will be removing many little screws. Make sure you have a high quality #00 size Phillips screwdriver. Wiha is a good brand. Also have an ice cube tray or egg carton to sort the screws as you remove them. Don't be in a rush and you will do fine.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that....I am not sure if spare keys are accessible. I am curious to find out. I can reach out to the seller.

when I replaced mine, one of the keys was the screw holes/tabs along the top. If you have 2 or 3. might want to get to that point to take a look before you order.

If you have the code you do not need the keys. The keys are if the battery has gone dead. If that has happened I do not know what you do....so sorry!

You do not need a new key. But when you order a key fob there is a number on the back of the key fob that you need to reference. I did not and I ended up losing $50 because I did not exchange them (2) in time and then they kept my key fob and my money.......yes I am bitter Amazon, because you would not help either. Company name was Keyless4u. Get it right the first time. Vince
