Facing a malfunctioning keyboard on your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15IWL, S145-15AST, or S15API? Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or prefer expert assistance, this guide offers solutions for your US layout, non-backlit keyboard woes.

DIY Approach:

For the handy and adventurous, replacing your keyboard can be a budget-friendly solution. Here’s what you’ll need:

Tools:

• Small Phillips head screwdriver
• Plastic prying tool (optional)
• Replacement keyboard (US layout, no backlight)

Steps:

1. Safety First: Power down and unplug your laptop. Remove the battery (consult your user manual for instructions specific to your model).
2. Access the Keyboard: Unscrew the back cover, following your user manual’s disassembly guide. Locate and disconnect the keyboard ribbon cable from the motherboard.
3. Release the Old Keyboard: Remove the screws securing the keyboard to the chassis. Carefully pry it up using your fingers or the plastic tool, avoiding component damage.
4. Welcome, New Keyboard: Position the new keyboard, align screw holes, and secure it with the removed screws. Reconnect the ribbon cable firmly.
5. Put it Back Together: Reattach the back cover, insert the battery, and power on your laptop. Test all keys to ensure functionality.
