How do I replace/repaint worn letters on laptop keyboard?

Question

i have a hp laptop that i recieved in february as a gift. i do quite a bit of typing and my n key is slowly wearing off, as is the m. is there some easy way to replace these keys?

Answer 1

im sure that you can buy individual keys, but you might as well just replace the whole thing (since it's multiple keys, and the whole thing is just plain easier than one by one).

as to where to get a new keyboard, i would talk with hp. see if they sell new keyboards for your model, how much they run, and if you can install it yourself (i installed my keyboard on my dell, and hp can't be much different). if hp themselves is too expensive, try ebay, craigslist, and similar sites. just make sure that you get the part that actually fits your model (ie: don't buy it if it says "might fit", fits model x which is close to yours, etc). I would still ask hp for the installation instructions, considering that the keyboard prolly wont come with them.

hope this helps!

You can probably draw the keys back on there or make a decal of some sort.

The easiest thing to do is to buy a new keyboard.

As a preventative measure, you could buy an external keyboard to use when you're at home or work,so it won't wear out your laptop keyboard.

Good luck.
