Laptop keys can stop working if they have sticky liquids spilled on them or if they are repeatedly pressed too hard. If a keyboard key on your HP Pavilion laptop has become stuck or is no longer functioning, you don't need to replace the HP Pavilion Keyboard or buy an entirely new laptop. Instead you can pop off the old key and easily replace it with a new one that is working properly after cleaning out whatever substance was causing the key to stick.
Shut off your HP Pavilion laptop's operating system. Push closed the top LCD screen lid, and then flip the laptop upside down.
Push the battery release bar to the right, and then pull the battery out of the HP Pavilion laptop. Flip the laptop back over and open up the LCD screen lid.
Locate the key you want to replace. Slide a thin and flat object, such as a butter knife or the edge of a flat-head screwdriver, underneath the side of the key. Pop the key upward and off the HP Pavilion Laptop Keyboard.
Use a pair of tweezers to remove the small plastic hinge piece if it didn't come off with the key. Dip a cotton swab into a bottle of cleaning alcohol. Wipe off the area where the key was located.
Set the new plastic hinge that came with the replacement key onto the open hole on the HP Pavilion Keyboard. Set the replacement key onto the keyboard and push down until it snaps into place.
Place the battery back into the HP Pavilion laptop and power the computer on.
