HP Pavilion 17

Is there an official way to change a laptop keyboard and keep the warranty?

From spanhish keyboard to portuguese keyboard.

Hi,

You did not provide the model number of the notebook.

model

Now, since the notebook still is under warranty I presume we are talking about a recent notebook.

The keyboard, in modern notebooks, is usually one part with the top cover. So to replace officially you would need to buy the complete top cover and then all the parts from the old notebook need to be removed from the old top cover and placed in the new one. So, if done officially it will most likely cost about the price of a new notebook.

 

You could try your nearest HP service center and see what they say.

 

Hope it helps,

David
