Can i replace my non-back-lit keyboard with back-lite keyboard

[manonmoon]

Hello All...

i bought a  hp pavilion 15 cs3075w laptob, and i was surprised that the keyboard is not back-lit one. i am really angry because  i thought all hp laptops would have it in all new models.

anyway , i was searching in ebay and found this back-lite keyboard 

For-HP-Pavilion-15-cr-15-cr0000 

is the keyboard in the ad compatible with the laptop model i have?

if yes , would i lose the warranty if i replace the keyboard.

thanks

I am sorry you are angry.

Not all new notebooks include the backlit keyboard.

Backlit keyboard is an option on some series and is included on some models at the time of purchase.

The option is available on the series.

The part numbers and the replacement procedure is explained in your Service manual.

 Maintenance and Service Guide

Chapter 5 -  Removal and replacement procedures for authorized service provider parts - starring on Page 78

Computer Components - Page 19

I cannot fully answer the question regarding the warranty.   Our Community is not HP Technical Support nor are we associated with HP Service Support, HP Contracts, or HP Sales.

My guess is that the replaced keyboard - and any self-inflicted damage that cause the computer to stop working as a result of changing the keyboard - is not covered.  If the computer is sent in for warranty repair, the changed keyboard and any related components are not covered.
