Hi,

It is possible to replace the keyboard but expensive and difficult job.

The keyboard comes as one part with top cover.

You can find the part number on page 73 of service manual, 

https://kaas.hpcloud.hp.com/pdf-public/pdf_5816250_en-US-1.pdf

 

Example

Top cover with keyboard, backlit         N17709-001

Spain      -071

so part number N17709-071

 

As I said it is difficult to replace as you need remove all the parts from the old top cover and place them in new one. As the service manual says on page 73 of service manual

"The top cover with keyboard remains after removing all other spare parts from the computer"

 

Hope it helps,

David
