Searching for a replacement keyboard

[RudiST]

Hi, My keyboard is increasingly non-responsive. This morning, the spacebar gave up entirely.

I'm searching for a replacement, but seems hard to find.

Will need the exact model number. On most recent models the keyboard is built into the top cover making replacement difficult and fairly expensive to do. A few models still have a separate keyboard that is fairly easy and inexpensive to replace.

Hello Huffer,

Thanks for responding.

The exact model is SPECTRE x360 Convertible model 15-df0027nb.

The keys seem to be encased solidly into the top cover, but I would hope that they are part of a layer underneath that can be replaced.

This is the disassembly video:

Top cover and keyboard start at about 29:23 in. As I feared, replacement of the keyboard means replacing the whole top cover and requires a full teardown. Not an easy task.
