Lenovo ThinkPad T480s Keyboard Replacement

Inleiding

This guide will show you how to replace the keyboard in your Lenovo ThinkPad T480s laptop.

A properly functioning keyboard will register keystrokes on the laptop’s display. Functioning keys will pop back up to their normal position after typing and will feel securely attached to the keyboard.

A keyboard that is malfunctioning may only register some keystrokes (or no keystrokes at all) on the laptop’s display. Certain keys may get stuck when pressed down or keycaps may feel loose when typing.

Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.
