Introdução

Ir para o passo 1

If the keyboard becomes dirty, it loses keys, or it becomes non-functional, you might need to replace the keyboard of your Lenovo ThinkPad T480.

The keyboard is an integral component of your Lenovo ThinkPad T480. It is one of the main input devices of your laptop, allowing the user to enter data in the form of characters like numbers and letters into the computer.

This repair is an easy process. Just be sure to disable the internal battery, remove the external battery and unplug the device prior to beginning your fix. Also be careful when you remove the keyboard because it is connected to two cables on the underside that need to be detached.
