Is there a way for me to buy a new keyboard for my laptop? If so, how?

Hi! A wonderful student group created a replacement guide for just this purpose. Visit it here and feel free to add to the guide if you unearth some important information during your repair.

i personally have never done this but here is a link showing what to do . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZeOrsYw… it seems relatively easy from what i saw remove 10 or so screws from the bottom of the laptop, then very gently pop up the top half of the keyboard, then unplug the 2 wires connecting the keyboard part to the laptop. it doesnt show him putting in a new one but basically reverse order. do this at your own risk i suggest you have someone who is a little experienced with you when you do this. edit: if the link doesnt work search this in youtube “How to replace keyboarad on Asus X550 series keyboard replacement”
