Palmrest with Backlit Keyboard

When purchasing a replacement palmrest with a backlit keyboard, ensure you’re getting the right configuration:

1. Backlit Keyboard: Look for a specific backlit keyboard version, as not all models come with the backlit feature.
2. Part Numbers: Manufacturers and third-party vendors may provide specific part numbers for the palmrest + keyboard assembly. Common part numbers for EliteBook series components are usually referenced based on the model number.
3. Finish/Color: Palmrests can come in different finishes (like black, silver, etc.) and sometimes in different materials (plastic or metal). Make sure to match the existing aesthetic of your laptop.

Where to Buy

• HP Parts Store: Official HP parts are available on their website or authorized resellers.
• Third-party Vendors: Websites like eBay, Amazon, or LaptopScreen offer replacement parts, including palmrests with keyboards. Be sure to check reviews and verify the seller’s legitimacy.
• Repair Shops: Local or online laptop repair shops may also sell individual replacement parts.

Installation

Replacing the palmrest with a keyboard usually involves:

1. Powering off the laptop and removing the battery (if removable).
2. Disassembling the bottom cover (which may involve removing screws and clips).
3. Disconnecting the keyboard and touchpad cables from the motherboard.
