Los teclados de los ordenadores portátiles

You can only install keyboards intended for the use in your model. So, when your current keyboard does not have a numpad you will not be able to install one with a numpad, since they would be too large. The same is true for keyboards with numpad, ones without numpad would then be too small.

However, there is the option to use an external numpad connected via USB.

Unfortunately, this s not possible for multiple reasons:

• No manufacturer sells single key-caps, only whole keyboards. 
• There are way too many designs, holding-clips variants, color differences.
• There are multiple thousand different keyboards from different manufacturers.
• Sometimes even the same notebook model uses different keyboards
• Carrying that many different spare parts is almost impossible for manufacturers and sellers

This is technically possible, to help you with the repair we have some exemplary instructions. 

There can be multiple reasons for its failure.

• It could be an error in your operating system, for example, when the wrong input language is selected.
• The keyboard controller IC on the Mainboard could be damaged.
• Dirt, like food or dust could be stuck in the keyboard.

The FN-key is similar to the shift or the alt-key. Oftentimes there are secondary functions marked by a different color, which can be accessed by pressing the FN-key and the respective key.

Usually these are functions like volume up or down, mute, changing the brightness of the screen or media controls.

Most countries have their own keyboard Layout. Usually the device has the layout of the country it has been bought in.

The English layout can be recognized by the first six Characters of the top row of letters. That's also why it is called QWERTY-layout, another common abbreviation for it would be ENG-layout.

The easiest option is to search for your notebook model in our Shop. We will then list all the keyboards, that are compatible with your device. 

Should you not be able to find the keyboard like this, you can try searching for its part number. 

• Where can I find the part number of my keyboard?

In Windows 10 hit the Windows-key and type "language", then hit the enter-key. In the settings menu that opens klick the plus sign next to "Add a language" and select the language you wish to add. It could be, that the Layout might still need to be downloaded, so make sure your computer is connected to the internet. When you left-click on a language, further options appear such as making it the default language. When you have two or more available keyboard layouts, there will be the abbreviation of the layout you are currently using in the bottom right in the taskbar. You can change the layout by clicking on it. 

Das Öffnen eines Laptops erfordert Sorgfalt, das richtige Werkzeug und etwas Erfahrung.

Grundregeln beim Öffnen:

• Gerät vollständig vom Strom trennen und, falls möglich, Akku entfernen bzw. stromlos schalten.
• Geeignetes Feinmechanik‑Werkzeug und ESD‑Schutz verwenden.
• Gehäuseschrauben systematisch lösen und Bodenabdeckung vorsichtig mit einem Kunststoff‑Tool abheben.
• Keine Gewalt anwenden – viele Geräte besitzen versteckte Schrauben unter Gummifüßen oder Aufklebern.

In unserer Reihe „Mein Laptop von innen“ zeigen wir anschaulich, wie verschiedene Notebook‑Modelle aufgebaut sind und welche Schritte nötig sind, um sie sicher zu öffnen.

Die Videos helfen dir, die Bauweise unterschiedlicher Marken (z. B. HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer) besser zu verstehen und zeigen, wo sich Akku, Tastatur oder RAM befinden.
Wenn du dir beim Öffnen unsicher bist oder fest verbaute Komponenten besitzt, übernehmen unsere Techniker in der Werkstatt den sicheren Ausbau und die Reparatur.

The part number can be found on the back of the keyboard. To view it the notebook has to be disassembled.
