Dell Inspiron 15R 5537 Keyboard Replacement

Introduction

If the keyboard on your Dell Inspiron 15R 5537 is malfunctioning or has been damaged in any way, this guide will show you how to properly remove it so you can replace it with a new one.

The keyboard sends the information that you type on the keys through a ribbon cable connected to the motherboard. A faulty ribbon cable can cause keys to not work when pressed or type incorrectly.

Before using this guide, double-check your keyboard for any debris that may be preventing the keys from being depressed and make sure to test your keyboard thoroughly before deciding to replace it.

Before beginning this guide, make sure your laptop is powered off and disconnected from any external power source.
