I could have tried hot glue as rivets but I think hot glue is not as good/durable as trimer line plastic.
After keyboard replacement some keys are somewhat lower that the others (Del, Home keys), but these works too and probably i will fix it next time when I will open the case.
*************************************************************************
Update: November 2, 2021 - Today, after 2 years and 6 months, the keyboard it broke again!
TIP: Do not type with wet hands or type multiple keys in the same time!
I just renaming a file with random keys when the keyboard it broke again by turning laptop off, then I was unable to turning on again for more than 3 seconds (it turn off itself everytime). Temporary fix: disconnect the keyboard cable and use external one.Now I keep it always in sleep mode because otherwise I can't power on (power on key is in the keyboard itself).
*************************************************************************
My laptop has been upgraded from 4 GB to 8 GB and Samsung 850 EVO SSD (120 GB) replaced default 1TB HDD.

Thanks alot Acer for making changing keyboards such a simple process

@keffirarabe8805 4 года назад

haha

@panther105 4 года назад

Thank you..!! This was major helpful. I have been sitting on a replacement keyboard for my Acer Aspire R11 for months now. Everytime I tried to find any video on how to swap keyboards all I got was some guy popping the keyboard out from the front or someone talking about whether or not my keyboard replacement had screw holes or not. Finally realized in your video that I was dealing with the same cheap plastic rivet system. This gave me the confidence to dive in and I got it done in a couple of hours. Maybe I'm just pathetic at finding out info on the web but this was the only video I found that showed how to deal with all these plastic rivets.

@garyneilson3035 4 года назад

Brilliant video. My Acer Apire keyboard packed in about a month out of warranty. I ordered a replacement keyboard which arrived last week and tonight I plucked up the courage to replace it myself. I've been building my own PCs for years and I must admit, this is one of the most difficult projects that I've undertaken (it took me around 3.5 hours). However, it's now working as good as new and I couldn't have done it without this tutorial. I've never used a soldering iron before and together with the removal of the plastic rivets, it is the most time consuming part of the job. Definitely not a job for the faint hearted!

@Nico_Nico_Douga Год назад

I was so fucked up while I was doing it... But if I hadn't found your video I wouldn't have been able to do anything at all, thank you very much!

@geonofone9816 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I just followed it through a replacement, although I did use hot glue. Unfortunately I need to re-do it once I get another new keyboard, as I managed to destroy the ribbon cable for the backlights on the first one (upgrading to backlit was the reason for replacement). I might try to pick up a 3D printing pen for the rivets next time instead of the hot glue, especially since some dripped through and the Y and U keys are a bit sticky now.

@sf955 4 года назад

This is my first and probably last youtube comment ever and just to thank you for being a genius! I remembered my kids had a pen like that and I tried it and it worked!!! You rock!!!

@eggpoach6160 3 года назад

Great Instruction fore taking it apart, but after fan installation, instruction are minimal (had to rewatch and extrapolate earlier in the video to put it back together). Warnings about the power jack being 2mm asymmetrical and which screws not to be put in before the case installation would have been good. Also it is possible to re use the plastic rivet heads when putting it back together. If you have a model with a cd drive remove it after the case screws but before separating the case.That said I couldn't have done the job without these instructions. Thank you.

@djprofessorjeff 4 года назад

Like most geeks, you have superb taste in music. And are a patient man. This project has been a turd sandwich. PLASTIC RIVETS 😳 Bastards. It’s like when I used to help friends install a new car stereo.... Honda or Toyota I shake my head and tell them, “you see, at the factories in Japan there’s an assembly line of radios, that is where they start and they build the car around it “🤣

@LuayAamar Год назад

@JoelHurley 4 года назад

A lot of work there, not DYI friendly. When you got to 'trimmer line' I was questioning what you were using, 'what is trimmer line for computer repair', but then I realized, you are using literally using line from a grass trimmer. Correct? That's a good tip!

@ThePazuzu 4 года назад

You can also use ABS filament for 3d printers.

@bounceofffast 4 года назад

Is it possible to test the new keyboard ( to see if it works ) without sealing those plastic mounts ? The reason I ask this question is that in case the new keyboard is defective, I do not wan to go thru all those steps to undo those heat seals .

@susanaleequimbarvazquez2705 4 года назад

Thank you very much!! I didn't know how to remove the keyboard and I was already stuck on that. A question the part you remove with the cutter could also be with the welder (because I think it is faster and easier for me 😅)

@TheCiudat 4 года назад

It's kind of messy using the welder there but sure, you can use it if you want.

@enriquecedeno8066 4 года назад

Good friend, I have a problem with a laptop, this case is very rare ... my laptop does not turn on unless I have pressed the 0 key ... I mean, it does not turn on by pressing the button to turn off and on, but I have to keep the button pressed 0 to turn on ... what could it be ???

@esasias8588 4 года назад

I was curious on your thoughts regarding my acer aspire 5 A515, It is only the power button that is faulty, I removed the key and that seems to work for awhile buy now I cannot get it to every turn on when it powers off after hours. Sometimes I can, but it is a fight and others it takes ages. I was wondering if there is a simpler solution versus having to tear it all apart for a replacement keyboard?

@pratim246 4 года назад

Don't turn it off. Just keep it in the standby mode always. Also the laptop will be fast enough whenever you use it at instant.. Restart once between 2 weeks..

If you not place that plastic foil back, you can risk a short circuit.

I’m afraid that it will be the same for the Acer Nitro 5 as both have a pretty similar chasis and a really similar keyboard. I needed so hard to clean the keyboard because is dirty AF. I don’t understand you acer, you let us change almos everything with relatively ease but not the keyboard? Wtf? Seriously? Apart of my little rant, nice video man, you have showed my that I shouldn’t try it, you saved me a lot of time, thanks!

Have you tried external keyboard? You spilled liquid on the keyboard or had wet hands when using it? You should try to change the internal keyboard.

Disconnect battery, get bios battery out, wait few minutes. Put bios battery back, laptop battery and try again. It should work. If not, check the cables connections.

@ashikuzzamanabir2171 4 года назад

Laptop in not turning on on battery. When charging, orange light blinks

@TheCiudat 4 года назад

After disassembly? Check / Reseat the cable connections, reset bios, disconnect the charger and let the computer a few hours with the battery disconnected. Then retry.

@ashikuzzamanabir2171 4 года назад

Now battery is OK. But I had accidently bent CPU Heat Sink very badly. Laptop is getting overheated. Fan starts for first few seconds & then turns off. What should I do now?

Alguien que me ayude, que tipo de soldadura se utilizó en este video?

@hajimesaitoh 4 года назад

No es soldadura, utilizo el cautin para derretir hilo plástico de una cortadora de cesped, la idea es reemplazar el material plástico que removió. lo ideal es que utilizaran tornillos para fijar el teclado al case, realmente es que el diseño de la laptop es un dolor de cabeza.

@sandramilenasotomarchena4276 4 года назад

Why does it happen? It is a problem of using or a problem of factory. Or it is normal because of the time?

@TheCiudat 4 года назад

It may be due to fluids drops. One drop is enough to get under the keys and it's done.
