is it possible to remove and replace the keyboard on this laptop

It sure is. The G500 is one of the more accessible models of laptop I've come across. Removing and replacing the keyboard involves undoing a few screws on the underside (they're even marked with a keyboard symbol) and popping the keyboard out (it snaps in place). There is one ribbon cable that attaches underneath. To put a new keyboard in, just reverse these steps. Quick and painless.

Yes it is - I could have installed it myself, but chickened out - worried I might break something. Took computer guy maybe three minutes to replace the keyboard. New one works super!

It can't be removed by hand... It's the same as the black plastic around the regular keyboard. I suppose you could remove it or paint it.

I believe so according to the specs I see. If you are doing it yourself be careful doing it. No need to remove keyboard as some YouTube instructions show.

I think it would be better to just buy the whole keyboard to replace your current keyboard in that replacing keys on a laptop is a lot more complicated compared to on a desktop's keyboard. Keep in mind i'm not entirely sure of it myself. :-/ Though I haven't found any issues with the keyboard at the moment.

The battery is removable so I assume you could replace it. Customer service is excellent as ASUS so I would suggest that you call them to find out for certain.

Yes, it can be replaced. I have done it myself. As others already mentioned you will need a msata ssd

Sorry, there is no way, but try taking off the keyboard assembly, it is attached with magnets.Lo siento, no hay manera, pero prueba despegando el teclado del conjunto, está unido con imanes.

Our Toshiba is the L655-S5116 model. To be honest, a friend who works on computers for a living installed the keyboard for us. He said there is some tape that runs from the keyboard to the computer that is very fragile. My husband felt he would be able to do it if he had to(although there are lots of screws) but he was glad someone else had the job. Sorry I wish I could have been more helpful.

I believe I have an updated 2012 MacBook Pro 13inch. I was able to remove my keyboard piece and put in a new one. If I could that, I imagine you can change the battery. I did not have to buy any addition pieces or tools. Good Luck, Hope this helped.

Yes. It should be the replacement keyboard. Watch the YouTube video on how to replace the keyboard and you'll be fine.

Yes, super easy to do. If you haven't bought the laptop yet, I would recommend something else.

The keyboard is back-list. The HDD is only replaceable if you disassemble the base. The HDD in the screen is embedded and not replaceable.

This keyboard isfor a ThinkPad. You simply remove the screws from the ThinkPad's bottom, slide out the keyboard--unplug the very short ribbon cable and then reverse the procedure with the new keyboard. It takes less than 10 minutes!

I ordered this not long ago. Yes it's the entire top part of the laptop. I consider myself pretty normal and I installed it myself... Just take your time. However, if you are afraid of breaking it, I suggest you ask a friend for some help since you will need to remove the keyboard as well.I hope this was helpful.

I have one, maybe 2, for dv6408nr which is the dv6000 - I got a new one but the laptop still has non-working keys and more wrong (won't boot), so the keyboards are probably ok.

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.
