Can I connect a regular keyboard to my laptop?

Replacing your defective Dell Notebook device is not that difficult and I hold done a total of 3 on top of Dell Notebook computers.

Prime you buy the particular genuine Dell keyboard, price varies only should be in $15 to $30 range with S&H.

Then the Dell Technical Support website is GREAT and actually has the Work Manuals gettable on-line with step by maneuver instructions and tap up schematics.

Basically one gently sticks a flat head screwdriver (soft to prevent scratches) in the players of the silver piece that runs along the top of the keyboard and gently prys it off. This exposes 2 screws holding down the keyboard and the most difficult element is separating the ribbon cable. Then one installs in reverse connecting the ribbon cable, etc,

Reason take up a USB keyboard when you can get back full mobility of your Dell Notebook PC?

Hope the Preceding Info Helps!
