Introduction
The keyboard is an important part of the Asus C202 Chromebook. The keyboard is easy to replace requiring no special skill set. The keyboard will need to be replaced if keys are missing, if keys have progressively stopped working, or if the entire keyboard does not respond to user input. Replacing the keyboard is a delicate process—if you are not careful you could damage the motherboard. Before you replace the keyboards make certain to power off the device. Keep your work space clean as to not damage the exposed circuitry.
