HP Pavilion G60-120US Keyboard Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If your HP Pavilion G60-120US’s keyboard is not functioning normally such as some keys are stuck or your keyboard responsiveness ranges from fully unresponsive to partially unresponsive it might be time to replace your keyboard.

A functional keyboard will allow you to type anything, and all keys will relay the appropriate information when pressed. However, sometimes keyboards can break due to a multitude of things such as general wear and tear or misuse. If you start to notice certain, if not all, keys not providing the accurate response, you should replace your keyboard.

Before beginning the steps on this guide make sure your laptop is powered down and not connected to any ports.
