Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 – Single Replacement Keyboard Key

Step One - Determine Your Hinge Style

Hinges are the small plastic clips located underneath each key. Most laptops use various keyboard manufacturers, so replacement keys are not a universal fit! Ordering by your laptop model alone is not enough. You must read and follow the instructions carefully to compare the shape of your hinge to the images shown below in order to find the correct replacement kit for your specific machine. Our comparison table shows both the hinge shape as well as the same area without a hinge (if yours is missing). If you choose the wrong type, it will NOT fit your keyboard! Once you determine your hinge style, all other keys on your keyboard will also use the same type.

Most alphanumeric keys will use a hinge shape located under the 'Normal Key' column. Larger keys (Enter, Backspace, etc.) will generally use hinges similar to those shown under the 'Large Key' column. Small keys (such as the top row function keys) will use hinges under the 'Small Key' column. Bottom row hinge shapes, as well as some larger keys may not be presented. We show only the most common hinge shapes that cover 90% of keys. If yours doesn't match or you are unsure in any way, do not guess! Simply contact us and we'll help you find the right part!

*All of our key replacement kits include the key cap, hinge piece(s) and rubber cup!

Please note: Not all hinge shapes and styles may be shown. If your missing keys do not match any of the images, please Contact Us to verify your product!

Step Two – Verify Keyboard Layout

Now that you've determined your hinge style, let's assure your keyboard resembles the image below! Laptop keys for this model are pulled from the exact keyboard shown. If this is not the same as your keyboard, you may have chosen the incorrect model. If you are having any difficulty with your purchase, please contact us and we will be glad to assist you!
