Acer Aspire One AO756-2623 Keyboard Replacement

Introduction

The keyboard of a laptop is a very easy component to become dysfunctional because it is constantly being used. If certain keys, clumps of keys, or the entire keyboard stops working, it needs to be replaced. Removing the keyboard requires that the battery and back cover be removed, along with a large number of screws, so be careful not to misplace any of the screws along the way.
