Introduction
Replacing the keyboard on the Lenovo IdeaPad P400 Touch is relatively easy. The keyboard may need to be replaced on your laptop if none of the steps in the troubleshooting guide resolved issues with your ability to input text into the computer. There is little that you will have to do that involves any risk to yourself or the device. On this model of laptop, you must remove the keyboard before being able to open the laptop case, so as a result, opening the laptop itself is unnecessary. You will only need a Phillips #1 screwdriver and plastic spudger to complete this repair.
What you need

-
-
Remove the two 14mm Phillips #1 screws that attach the keyboard to the underside of the laptop.
