Keyboard panel replacement: Cost + Worth + How to?

[notchetanshetty]

Hello community,

I have a 4-year old HP Pavilion 15-p045tx notebook. The laptop is in good condition except for the keyboard whose certain keys stopped responding about 6 months ago. I replaced them from an authorized service center but the problem is that the experience with replaced keyboard is not the same as the original ones. I need to replace the entire keyboard panel with attached keyboard.

I have three questions:

1. How much will it cost to replace in India?
2. Is it worth spending on a 4+ year old laptop?
3. How and where do I need to go to get it replaced?

Thank you.

I've replaced keyboards on two different HP laptops over the years and each time, it cost me areound $25 for the keyboard. So, in each case, considering that a replacement laptop would have been $500 or more, the replacement was well worth the cost.

But unfortunately, we here can only recommend using this link to attempt to obtain HP replacement parts:  HP Notebook PCs - Ordering HP Certified Replacement Parts | HP® Customer Support
