This repair involves disconnecting internal cables and removing the top case, so take your time and handle all ribbon cables gently to avoid tearing them. If your troubleshooting pointed to keyboard failure rather than a software or connection issue, this guide will walk you through replacing it and getting your Chromebook typing smoothly again.
