Can I replace my broken Pavilion Keyboard with a Sunrex keyboard?

[seb87]

Hi,

My laptop's keyboard, Pavilion 14-AL003TX, broke. The part number is 848184-281 (English US Layout/ Thai - I don't need  nor use the Thai). I found a replacement part online with the following description:

HP Pavilion 14-AL Series English US Black Backlit Laptop Keyboard V150546BS3.

Sunrex Part Number: V150546BS3
Compatible Models: HP Pavilion 14-AL Series.

Do you think it's compatible?

Thanks.

@seb87,

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether you can replace the keyboard on the computer with a non-HP keyboard.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

You can definitely go ahead and replace the keyboard with a non-HP brand keyboard however, we do not have any information about the keyboard and it may or may not work with your computer. You can replace it at your own risk.

I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!

Hi, thank you for your welcoming me in the community.

What information you need to know to see if it's compatible? Where can I find a compatible keyboard, I haven't found any online or in HPparts.

Thank you.

This model Notebook uses a Full-size island-style backlit keyboard. Kindly refer to page 15 of the service guide to know the part number of the compatible keyboard according to your region. You may check its availability and purchase it online from HP Parts Store.

We do not have information about non-HP keyboards. You will have to check in a local store.

Hope this helps. Keep me posted.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I've used the HP Parts store to find a compatible keyboard, but there aren't any available. Do you know any other stores I could search besides the big ones like Amazon or Ebay?

@seb87

I see that for your region, there is no part number available for the keyboard. Did you purchase the computer from a different country?

You will have to use a wireless keyboard or visit any local computer store for assistance.

Keep me posted.

Yes I bought it in Thailand, keyboard part number 848184-281, and it's EN-US layout. I don't use the Thai feature. I can ship anything from USA. So I'm hopeful there are still option.

In that case, you may check in local stores or online websites like Amazon or eBay.
