The W and R keys don’t work on my ASUS vivobook flip 14 and I would like to fix them so I can give the laptop to a friend. The reason they stopped working is because I spilled water on them a long time ago. Other than that, the laptop works perfectly fine.
I saw some teardown videos for an entire keyboard replacement for it, but it looks wayyyyyy too complicated and easy to mess up. I have expierence replacing stuff like batteries and SSDs in computers.
Is there a way to replace/fix those two keys without taking out the entire motherboard?
No, I haven’t been able to find the one directly from Asus. The ones I’ve seen are off of YouTube.
From what I understand you don’t have to replace the whole top cover, you just have to get under the motherboard and tear some things up.
Google for “[model number] teardown guide” for the official documentation.
I had looked that up previously, and now after reading this I realized that the official teardown guide was there but was reposted on unofficial sites so I had overlooked them. Thanks for the recommendation
