A faulty keyboard can turn your trusty computer into a paperweight. But don’t fret! Swapping out the keyboard on the A53U-ES21 is a breeze and can save you from the hefty cost of a new machine. Keep it cool and let’s get your keyboard back in action!

Step 1

– Turn your laptop over so the battery is looking right at you.

Step 2

– Flick those two sliders over to the outer edge of your trusty laptop.

– With all the finesse of a repair ninja, gently pry out the battery using your left hand while keeping a firm grip on that right slider.

Step 3

– Let’s kick things off by taking off the RAM cover from the bottom of the keyboard.

– Next up, grab your trusty #1 Phillips screwdriver and unscrew those two 7mm screws labeled with a cool ‘K’.

– Now, locate that 5mm screw keeping the panel snug and remove it using your Phillips #1 screwdriver.

– Finally, slide that pry tool along the edge and finish up the removal like a pro!

Step 4

– Position your computer with the keyboard facing you and the screen up top—let’s get this show on the road!

– Locate the three buttons nestled at the top of the keyboard, tucked between the casing and the keyboard. They’ll be highlighted in red for your convenience.

– Grab your trusty pry tool and give those buttons a gentle press. With a little encouragement, the keyboard should pop right out!

Step 5

– Carefully fold the keyboard towards you, but don’t worry, it’s still happily connected by a ribbon to the rest of the computer.

– Now, grab your trusty opening tool and gently lift that black piece holding the ribbon down—it’s time to free the ribbon!

– When you’re putting the black piece back, just make sure it covers the white line on the ribbon. Easy peasy!
