How can I swap out a broken keyboard on my laptop?
Both laptops use no screws to stick the keyboard to the plastic shell. To skip that step with a soldering gun or hot glue, you have to buy a cover that already has the keyboard stuck on it. If you want someone else to do this, go to some PC repair shops nearby and ask them to help. Regarding the keyboard itself, you are lucky because most other Asus laptops use the same type of keys. To find more stores online, search Google for "Asus X550JX tangentbord" or whatever key word is in your local language. One of my first results shows this link: https://www.amazon.se/X550JX-DM191T...55...B07BGXMPPM And remember to check the Enter and CTRL keys before buying, just in case. Good luck!
Thanks Mettall. Oh no, that isn't great news. I really thought the Asus Zenbook UX331F would at least come with a replaceable keyboard made just by screws. Can you tell me how you check on keyboards like you did? (So I know what to look for later). Thanks so much for sharing the link about the keyboard - I think it shows a Scandinavian/Nordic layout, which is exactly what I have right now, and I want to switch to QWERTY. Ideally UK layout, otherwise US would be fine too. Could you help me find a replacement? Does the end part of the laptop model number ('DM257T' in my X550JX-DM257T) need to match when looking for replacements or should I just search for 'Asus X550JX keyboard'? Thanks and sorry for all these questions, I am new at this!
