Laptop keyboards are fairly simple devices and they rarely stop functioning on their own. There are many different types of laptop keyboards in the market and as a result people have to do their research when finding a replacement. Even if the keys look the same the connector on the back might be different and won't fit into the slot. A lot of people like to replace their whole keyboard even if they only have one or two keys missing because sometimes it's easier to replace the whole sony vaio vgn-n350e keyboard then just a few keys. The cost of laptop keyboards is fairly cheap so a lot people will replace their keyboard before they sell their laptop just to make it look nicer. I'll now show you how to install a laptop keyboard.

1. Flip your laptop upside down and find the screws that are connected to your keyboard These screws are usually marked by a keyboard symbol so they're easy to find. If you don't see any keyboard symbols then there aren't any screws from the bottom of the laptop. The screws will be under the top panel above your keyboard.
2. On some models you will have to also unscrew the screws holding the top panel because you will have to remove the top panel first before you remove the keyboard.
