Changing keyboard on Lenovo Z50-75

One of the keys on my keyboard broke (over zealous cleaning), so I bought a replacement keyboard after googling how to replace it.

It really is dead simple

1) remove back cover (three screws)

2) remove fan (three screws plus connector)

3) remove three keyboard screws


Open lid of pc, and push keyboard up from underneath where it is seen from fan area

4) Flip cable connector holder, and remove pc


Reverse actions to put in new keyboard

Took less than 10 minutes.

Really impressed with lenovo design. When I did similar on my Sony laptop, I had to take whole thing apart which was a major exercise. Even my old acer laptop took some doing.

Swapped the spinner drive for an SSD on my wife's Acer, PITA to say the least. Hard drive was mounted on top of the motherboard. Had to remove the bottom cover, then the top cover, keyboard and track pad etc. Not fun.
