TravelMate P645M - Keyboard issue

LeoPercepied

Dear Community,

I recently spilt water on my Travelmate P645M laptop and I have now 9 dead keys in the bottom left corner of the keyboard. My laptop is no longer under warranty so I had a few questions about keys replacement.

In fact, every key seems to be individualised on the keyboard (which is not disposable at once), so I am wondering about the following?

 

- Is it possible to repair only the broken keys one by one ? Without changing the full keyboard

- Is it possible that the keys will work again after a cleaning with alcohol for example (a thing I have seens on other forums) ?

- Is it possible to buy online the missing keys/the whole keyboard through official Acer store ?

- If willing to change the keys/keyboard by myself, should I first disconnect the non disposable battery by opening the laptopt (through the 10 screws at the bottom of the laptopt) and then replace the keys ?

 

Great thanks for your feedback

Unfortunately, the only thing Acer can recommend is to send the computer to repair.
