Hi there,
Need help please. I have HP Spectre X360. It is an amazing laptop, except i might have damaged the keyboard letter N today. It kinda got stucked a bit and i was annoyed by it. Used a sharp knife to lift it to be able to clean it. After cleaning it, i just can't put it back together.
Any ideas of what to do? My HP warranty had expired early April 2025. I think i may have to replace the whole keyboard?
If so, i may need to get a wireless keyboard for now while awaiting for the replacement keyboard to arrive.
Can someone look from the pics if it is really damaged?
Thank you
Jonathan.

Hi @spoudaios,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
The Image shared shows that the Key is popped out, and it shows that we have to replace the full set of keyboard set, and it will be on a fee-based support. Would you like to send the pc for service?
Let me know
Take care and have an amazing day!

Hi Vikram,
Thank you for the reply.
Do I have to mail the laptop for HP to replace the keyboard?
I contacted a local HP authorized provider in Anaheim, CA and he said the keyboard is back ordered.
How long is the typical turn around time to fix this and how much will this cost?
Thank you
