How to safely remove/clean HP Envy laptop keyboard keys (HP Envy 15-as043cl) 

At 6:37 in the video, you can see a side view of the hinged piece. Normally, it lies flat, however I am showing what it looks like when it is not flat. The piece with the shorter end (on the left), would be under the other piece when lying flat. The other end (the higher piece on the right) would be on top when lying flat. If you lie this piece flat, you can install this as you see it here, where the right side of the white piece (as pictured here) would first be installed on the top two metal fingers at the top of where the key goes, and then you gently press the lower portion of the hinge down. Note: the lower portion is the left side of the hinge as pictured here.

Be very careful, otherwise you can break it. The hinge is attached to the key cap at the top of the key. You can use a guitar pick to gently lift of the top part of the key cap. Do NOT pull up on the bottom of the key cap. Instead lift up the top part of the key cap and then slide the bottom of the key cap down. Watch the video at 3:30 for an example. Once the top of the key cap is loose, I then "slide" the key cap down and out.

What model do you have? I found an exact replacement (like the orginal) for $60 or less.

@@GetTechyWithD You could use the onscreen keyboard in the meantime.

You needed to be patient! If your recklessly gonna try and pry it off like your a pro then yeah your gonna break it.

You were the only one that made sense to me thanks sooo much
