Clear, straightforward answers about our diagnosis process, turnaround times, and pricing.
If only one keycap is loose and its rubber dome is intact, individual keycap replacement is sometimes possible. However, if multiple keys fail or liquid entered the membrane, replacing the complete keyboard assembly guarantees long-term reliability.
For modular drop-in keyboards, turnaround is often same-day within 1 to 2 hours. For modern ultrabooks where the keyboard is riveted into the aluminium palmrest assembly, service typically takes 24 to 48 hours.
