How much to have keyboard replaced

[Radditz2002]

I was wondering if anyone knew how much it costs to have HP replace the keyboard for a HP Pavilion Gaming Pavilion 15 ec0751 ms ?

My brother is giving me his, and brown liquid spilled onto the laptop. He turned it on months later and it booted to windows, but the keyboard doesn't work.

I watched a video on how to replace the keyboard, but the keyboard is soldered onto the case. So I either can go to Micro Center, or have HP replace it. To have Micro Center replace it is $30 plus the cost for labor and parts.

So what is the $30 for if labor and parts is on top of that? Replacing the keyboard is a major job on these laptops with the keyboard integrated into the top cover. HP is probably going to charge more than MicroCenter and you may want to check with a small local shop. First thing would be to see if you can actually get a replacement top cover with keyboard.
