mrfrost91 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I bought mine Y500 2 months ago, and around two weeks ago keyboard buttons began to wear off. Has anybody this issue too? And is it a warranty case? Most of time I'm playing WoT on the notebook, so W, S and Shift buttons weared off first. Look at the attachement.

octiceps Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've seen this before on other laptops. This isn't a defect, just a case of accelerated wear-and-tear due to excessive usage, and I doubt you'll be able to convince Lenovo to cover it under warranty. All I can say is you've been using your laptop too much. Also, if you tend to sweat a lot on your hands when you game, you should wipe down the keyboard after usage. Sweat is slightly corrosive and leaving it on the keys can speed up the rate at which the keys wear off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll only need the key cap. Once you've replaced the key, you also put a rubber keyboard cover over the keyboard. You can get one here (again not affiliated just a quick amazon search): Amazon.com: Coolskin Clear TPU Keyboard Cover Skin for Lenovo Ideapad Y580,Y570,Y570D,Y500,Z580,Z560,Z565,Z570,Z575 Size: 12.2x5.1x0.1, Color : Clear: Computers & Accessories Hope this gives you some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
