How to safely remove/clean HP Envy laptop keyboard keys (HP Envy 15-as043cl)

In this video, I show features of the HP Envy laptop keyboard keys and how you can safely remove them without breaking the plastic fingers that hold them in.

Eventually, I got tired of sticky keys and was amazed to find a brand new exact match for my laptop on Amazon for just $60. Just like the OEM keyboard. You need to take your laptop apart to replace the keyboard shell, but it is definitely worth it and I think this is the real deal!

I appreciate displaying a hi-res close up while explaining. You would make a great teacher.

I used an old hotel key cara - didn’t want to go searching for guitar pics around the house! But it worked like a charm. Much better than using a flat tiny screw driver as suggested by another video. Thank you!!

My Spectre has the same type of keys, and it was really easy to remove and re-install them! I've spent a year working in a computer shop and this type is much easier and safer than other types!

This helps a lot. I had problem with jammed control key and it gave me terrible time

EXCELLENT macro close-ups! Now I 100% understand the design and function of the key to cradle to board hooks\interfaces. Yea, that other guy using a screw driver from the side is completely wrong! Will break tab on bottom corner of side he's prying on... And installing your way is the CORRECT way also... 2 THUMBS UP!

0.6mm crochet hook makes removing the plastic holder super easy. You can get them for a pound or two at a lot of craft stores.

In case of water spilled over the keyboard how can someone clean it internally?

Would be nice if you really show closely how to insert the White piece. Impossible to see from far

Please explain: Is the end of of the hinged piece closest to the user supposed to end up under or over the other half ?
