Steps:  

It works hard, plays hard, and goes everywhere with you. But with all that use, certain laptop parts can wear out. Even systems that still run perfectly well on the inside may suffer from problems on the outside. The most visible signs of aging and abuse are often found on the keyboard; keys may have stopped working after one or two accidentally spilled beverages, or cosmetic flaws, such as rubbed out letters, may have started to appear. But you don't need to replace your entire laptop, just the keyboard.
To find the right keyboard for your system, start by checking with the laptop manufacturer to see if they sell replacements. If not, spare part dealers, can help. This site has an online tool for locating parts. Simply enter the manufacturer, model line, series, and model number of your notebook. (eBay is another good source for new or used parts.) We found a keyboard for our aging Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t for $60.
Depending on the model and age of your laptop, a replacement can cost as little as $20 or as much as $130. Prices vary, so shop around for the best deal. Research a seller's history carefully, and check the return policy before you complete your purchase.
Once you have the replacement keyboard, swapping it for your old one will be easy. The entire process should take only 15 to 20 minutes.

Before you get started, gather these items:

1. Replacement keyboard for your specific laptop model
2. Phillips-head screwdriver
3. Tray for keeping loose screws
