| 1469278 | 2020-06-06 23:50:00 | Yes Wainui, thanks for pointing that out. Just shows how careful we need to be. I searched for the L55-C5392 and up came the L55 video which I assumed to be for that model unaware of the many variations, Thanks. Yeah its VERY easy to do. Had one Computer looked up the actual Code on the keyboard, went to order and wouldn't ya know it -- Two VERY similar products with the same code :confused: Thankfully the parts weren't expensive, when contacting the supplier he sent both saying return the one that's not correct. |

We send laptops out to an Ak Laptop repair specialist, as the cost for the whole job is about the same as our cost of kb's anyway . They arnt hard to do . Splitting the case open will sound like plastic breaking, so be prepared for that . Its just the sound of all the plastic tabs being forced to unclip . :-) Also , make sure you remove ALL the screws . Look for a how to page that shows all the screws and their locations. Its easy to miss a screw thats in an unexpected place (under rubber feet or under a label etc) |

Like a lot of laptops these days, the Bottom Cover comes off and all the internals are actually connected to the top cover. Here's the disassembly instructions. www.insidemylaptop.com Edited: Scroll down to the end of article, may or may not apply to this exact Model - keyboard :( |

All good all up was about $95.00 Good you got it sorted. :thumbs: I get components from Aliexpress as well sometimes, the only real downside is the time it takes for them to arrive, but sometimes when $$ is a concern the waits worth it. The exact same part can cost many times more in NZ. |
