I have a Lenovo Ideapad 14ARE05. Several keys stopped working. This is the exact replacement part. It took a lot of work to install. Watch Youtube videos. Lenovo has made the disassembly particularly difficult, starting with opening the case, which uses torx screws rather than a Philips. Even with the right torx screwdriver, the screws stripped and I had to use a reverse drill bit to get them out. The laptop has to be completely stripped down to get to the keyboard, and then the keyboard is accessed by cutting about 50 little plastic tabs with a utility blade. This allowed me to remove the metal plate which holds down the keyboard, and then finally I was able to replace the keyboard. Because I do not have a plastic welder, I used a hot glue gun instead to reattach the metal retaining plate, taking care to ensure a tight fit so that the keyboard had a good tactile feel. After that assembly was the reverse of disassembly. I had labeled where all the screws inside went, and taken pictures as I was disassembling, so the assembly went smoothly. The laptop works and the keyboard is like new again. I am waiting for an order of fresh screws for the ones I stripped on the case.

Disassembly and re-assembling the notebook took a good three hours, but the keyboard now works like a charm.

Got it to replace a broken keyboard (E key came out). Tried replacing the single Key, I do not recommend. Note that these keyboards are secured with plastic rivets, watch YouTube first. Only buy from Amazon. I bought one from ebay, it came the wrong size and they would not take it back! This keyboard works perfect and matches the original color.

The media could not be loaded.  Works perfectly. 😁. Highly recommended.

Wrong part.
