Author: Simon
Hello everyone, Simon here! In today’s tutorial, I’m going to walk you through the steps of replacing the full assembly keyboard on an MSI PS63 Modern laptop (Model: MS16S1). Whether you’re dealing with broken keys, unresponsive keys, or a liquid spill, this guide will be your handy assistant. Let’s dive in!
Tools Required:
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Pry Tool
Steps for Keyboard Replacement:
- Remove Back Cover Screws: Start by unscrewing all the screws on the back cover using a Phillips screwdriver. Remember, there’s a factory seal you need to break to access one of the screws.
- Open the Back Cover: Gently pry open the cover, starting from a corner. The back cover should pop off easily.
- Inside View and Battery Removal: You’ll see the internal components, including the battery. Disconnect the battery by sliding its connector out and then unscrew it to remove it completely.
- RAM and SSD Removal: Pop out the RAM by pushing the side clippers and sliding out the SSD at a 45-degree angle.
- Disconnect Cables: Carefully disconnect all the cables attached to the motherboard. This includes the keyboard lighting, speaker, CMOS (if not soldered to the motherboard), LCD, and CPU fan connectors.
- Remove the Wi-Fi Card: Unscrew and remove the Wi-Fi card, paying attention to the cable arrangement.
- Unscrew the Hinges: Remove the three screws holding each hinge.
- Motherboard Removal: Carefully unscrew and remove the CPU fan and heatsink. Then, gently tilt the motherboard to access and disconnect the keyboard connector.
- Keyboard Removal: Open the hinges and slide the entire keyboard assembly out.
Important Note:
- The keyboard is punched down by the manufacturer, meaning it doesn’t have screws. You can’t replace individual keys; you must replace the entire assembly.
Reassembling the Laptop:
- Follow the steps in reverse to reassemble your laptop after placing the new keyboard assembly.
Conclusion:
Replacing a full assembly keyboard on an MSI PS63 Modern laptop is a somewhat intricate process but very much doable with some patience and attention to detail. Remember to keep track of all the screws and be gentle with the components.
