[xiang2011]

HP Compaq is a popular manufacturer of laptop computers, Loved by many users. But Since laptop computers have a HP Compaq CQ70 Keyboard integrated into the laptop unit, it can become a major problem if a single key becomes loose or stuck. When a key stops striking properly, you may need to remove it from the laptop keyboard to reset the key and troubleshoot the problem.



Open up the laptop so that the HP Compaq CQ70 Keyboard is accessible. Use your thumb to press down on the keys immediately below the key you want to remove.



Use your index finger to lift the key you wish to remove from the top, peeling it back toward the keys you are depressing with your thumb. The key should snap loose with moderate pressure.



Use tweezers to remove the key binding from the HP Compaq CQ70 Keyboard . After you take off the key, you will likely notice a few pieces of plastic still attached to the keyboard. This is the key retainer or binding. (The flat part of the key that you strike is the key cap.) Keep in mind you will need to reset the retainer on the keyboard before reattaching the key cap, so you may want to leave it in place.
