I have an Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-50UW. My laptop is turning ON by pressing any key except power key. Also, I need to hold any key to keep it ON and when I release the key it automatically shuts OFF. As my laptop is out of warranty, I have tried reconnecting all the cables inside it and also tried resetting BIOS and Battery. But the problem still persists. It seems it is a keyboard failure. Should I replace the keyboard ? or is there any trick I can do at home ?

  • You can try this suggestion:
    However, the ideal is to replace the keyboard. There is a video in Portuguese that shows how to change the keyboard. You do not need to understand Portuguese, as the presenter shows to make the substitution, see:
    In addition, if your motherboard has this connector, you can add a backlit keyboard:

    This series of laptop has manufacturing defect in keyboards according to research. I am still looking for a new keyboard and did not get any link to buy it. Please share the link if you get it. Try connecting to Acer service centres for prices.
