Lynn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I spilled Pepsi on the keyboard 2 days ago. I quickly turned it off, flipped it over and patted it dry the best I could. I also took most of the keys off and cleaned them and I left it open and upside down overnight to dry out. Everything seems to be working fine except the keyboard. A friend told me it could be replaced, but I'm not sure if this is something I can do myself. I'm pretty handy, but I don't know how tricky it would be. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! I feel sorry for the people that don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's as good as their gonna feel all day. -Dean Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi Lynn, this should help. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/take-apart-h...-dv6000-laptop/ Have fun. Dennis, I can't thank you enough! I love taking things apart, so this should be interesting. Hopefully I won't have any of those annoying "extra" parts when I put it back together, lol. I feel sorry for the people that don't drink.

Lynn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 So far so good. I followed the directions to remove the keyboard. I gently cleaned up a few small sticky spots under the keyboard and got the part number. I put the old keyboard back in until I get a new one. It was much easier than I expected! I'm going to order a new one today. Thanks again! You have saved me so much time, frustration, and money!!! I feel sorry for the people that don't drink.

Moderators DennisD Posted February 28, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2009 Well done you. If you lived a bit nearer, I'd know where to come for repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 That pesky ocean is in the way, lol. I have one more question... I put it all back together and tried to order the new keyboard. I was sent the wrong one and now can't find the part # I had written down. I really don't want to take it apart again until I get the replacement. Any other way to find the right part #?

Moderators DennisD Posted March 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 3, 2009 I expect it'll be the same as this one mentioned way down that page. I believe the keyboard part number will be the same as for all laptops in dv6000 series.Here it is: 441427-001 (US keyboard). And as hazel said above, let us know when you get it fixed. I need to know where to send the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I received the new keyboard in the mail today. It took about 10 minutes to remove the old and install the new. It's working great! I'm so grateful for your help and VERY glad to be rid of the USB keyboard. Thanks again, Lynn I feel sorry for the people that don't drink.
