    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Exactly! I didn't want to pay all that money for some keys... If you replace the keyboard remember to glue the rivets. At first I just pressed them back with a hammer and a punch and reassembled the surface, but as soon as I started to press the keys on the keyboard the rivets came off so I had...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    I used a very small flathead screwdriver. To help the screwdriver go under the rivet I used a small hammer. Very gently. Once the screwdriver is under the head of the rivet, you can turn the screwdriver and the rivet comes out. Ask if it is not clear

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Hi, sorry to tell you that if some keys are not working and some other are working it is 99% hardware problem. If you spilled something on the keyboard it could be the problem. It doesn't matter how much water (or whatever) if it has reached the contacts it spoiled them. Solutions: you buy a new...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    To unglue the base was really difficult without deforming it. But yes you need to heat it. I used iFixit heater, but I thing a heat gun works better. Be careful not to heat too much because under the cover panel there are the batteries. I started with a very small screwdriver to lift the...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Done! It works! So we now know the problem is the keyboard circuit. The only problem is that the keyboard is Chinese, nor great quality and they inverted the keys "del" and the key to detach the screen (as you can see in the photo) and this key has some problems It doesn't always detach the...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    Hello, I cannot use a multimeter. The circuits you see in the last photo are on the inside. The outside part is only plastic. I know Ifixit.com, it helped me a lot to disassemble my surface keyboard. But i went further, since no one on the web disassembled it to this point. If you want to...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    I found out the there is no need to drill the keyboard. There are small pins, but they are difficult to remove. And there are many. I removed all of them and take out the keyboard. It is glued to the metal frame. Once you take it off the metal frame you can see the circuits. They are small...

    My Surface Book i7... Some keys stopped working

    If you turn it in tablet mode the keyboard doesn't work. Anyway I don't think it is a connection problem. I'm almost sure that the keyboard is broken. There must be some connection not working in the keyboard circuit. I opened it but it is impossible to get the those circuits because there is a...

    Hi, maybe this can help I have some keys not working: a p b g y 7 and función key "volume up" I noticed that apart from a and p all the other keys are in line. And also other people have keys not working in vertical line. So I suppose there is something broken in the keyboard circuit. I tried...
