751H Keyboard Replacement

Hi all! I have been on a hunt for a replacement keyboard and have been in an endless loop.

The Part number on the sticker is: AEZA3R00110 MP-09B93U4-920

If I search for AO751H Keyboard on ebay I get this part number: AEZA3R00010

I already ordered one but it did not work. When I compared the ribbons they are not the same. All the pics I found on ebay for this model look like the exact same picture.

I really love this netbook and I want to get it running again. Yeah there are faster models out now but
Nothing beats the screen size and battery life.

Please HELP!

btw I have mine running Win7 Pro and I got a cheap 7200mAh battery for 10 hours of use on a charge!

 

I don't have a source for you, but what is the problem with the keyboard? 3 suggestions though:

1) Individual keys are sometimes available for purchase on Ebay (if that's the problem)
2) Call Acer. This same keyboard is probably used on all of their 11.6" models (e.g. all of the Acer Timelines: Acer 1410, 1810, 1820, etc). You might find a suitable part from ebay that works with those other models.
3) Broken netbooks are available on ebay for almost nothing. Just make sure it's not the keyboard that's the broken part! Start cruising ebay for broken Acer 751 netbooks and you might get lucky.

Good luck!

PS: I agree that the large, high resolution screen makes these netbooks light-years better than any of the 10.1" low resolution models. That was the reason for my purchase. Regular netbook screens, with only 600 vertical pixels, make me feel like I'm looking at my documents through a mail slot.

 

The T key quit working. Not only did it quit working, it would cause strange commands to happen like "delete the last four lines of text". Huge problem. This is what led to needing an entire keyboard.

The websites I checked say the part number is AEZA3R00010 when the sticker on mine says AEZA3R00110. All the other details are the same Model: ZA3 Rev. 3A. I know this keyboard is used on many models, the problem is they are all the wrong part number. Exact size and layout, even Fn commands, just don't work.

The one I received WAS damaged when I got it. Maybe this keyboard is more fragile than I am giving it credit for and they short easily, especially when bent even a little. This one was used daily since October 2009, hate to loose it because I can't find a $10 part! I'm going to order another and see what happens.

I already bought a Samsung N145 to replace the 751H because I MUST have all day use on a full charge, I still want to use the 751H more.

 

That's a bummer. Did you try calling Acer about spare parts or to find out if there is a compatible model number for they keyboard? Just make sure to get to the higher level engineers/techs immediately (the first people you talk with are always the useless script readers). It sounds like you have a replacement laptop already. It's a shame you had to go down that road, but I understand why. I can't be without a computer either. Good luck!

 

Just a suggestion but a possible workaround if you only have a problem when pressing the T key is to use Windows Onscreen Keyboard for that letter. Better than nothing if you can't find another keyboard.

I did not try to call them, no time for that really. The last time I went looking on Acer website for a battery, they didn't have them for sale.

Yes I know about the virtual keyboard but that is such a pain it defeats the purpose I use it for. I mean, it is just the keyboard! I didn't know this would be such a pain.

I would ask other 751H owners what the part number is on the bottom on theirs but this keyboard HATES to be bent even a little. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Just ordered another one. Hopefully this one makes the trip undamaged. Then hopefully it works. I think that the part changed but it is compatible.

Maybe it isn't a big deal? :lol: Will know in a week (really hate USPS) when it gets here.

 

SUCCESS!!!

Turns out these keyboards DO NOT tolerate being bent just a little bit.

The part number on my replacement is as follows:
P/N:AEZA3R00010
Model: ZA3
Rev: 3B

I got mine from CDS Parts on ebay. $16 shipped

YES!! So glad this netbook is back up and running!

 

Congrats. I'm glad it worked out for you.
