Guide on replacing Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 11, 2009 – Basically, somebody may knock a goodly amount of liquid into the keyboard and now it wasn’t functioning correctly.The symptoms were as expected, physically sticky keys and keys becoming electronically stuck as well. Not good news. So you may know how to replace it, such as Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard. This article is about how to replce your Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard.
This is the biggest cover on the base of the laptop and it’s a right shunt to remove. If you ever need to take this one off, remove all the screws you can see in the cover itself and then carefully start levering from the edge nearest the centre of the Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard first. The plastic is thin and the whole circumference of the cover is fitted with small extrusions which serve as clips. These Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard will bend to an extent as you free them, just hope you don’t break them! You only really need this cover off if you are fitting a Mini PCI or RAM upgrade part.
Having discovered there was no access to the Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard fixings from this cover, and looked under the laptop battery cover. There I found three black screws which appeared to correspond to the cover above the laptop keyboard on the upper side of the laptop.
After removing the three black screws, I began levering up the edge of the fascia panel nearest the Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard. This panel serves to hold the Dell laptop keyboard in place, it also comprises the button cover for the power switchgear and grilles for the speakers.
Once the bottom edge of the cover was freed, you should lift it away from the top edge revealing the clips that hold the Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard in place (set of plastic tabs holding the top edge of the Dell laptop keyboard).
There’s not much else you can get access to from the Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard bay, there’s no upgradeable parts here and you can only clean (not remove) the CPU fan from here. The Dell Inspiron 1540 keyboard is a pretty much sealed unit, I had a little try at soaking it in isopropyl alcohol but to no avail.
