HP EliteBook 840 G5-G6 Keyboard, Backlit

HP EliteBook 840 G5-G6 Replacement Keyboard, Backlit

Fix a broken or unresponsive keyboard on your HP EliteBook 840 G5 or 840 G6 with this genuine-fit backlit replacement (P/N L14379-001 family). A direct drop-in fit built to the original specification.

The 840 G5/G6 generation moved to a narrower bezel chassis with a repositioned trackpoint and a slightly different key well than earlier 840 models, so a generic “universal” keyboard rarely sits flush or lines up with the screw posts. This part is tooled to that specific G5/G6 layout, giving you the same fit and finish as the keyboard that shipped with the laptop. Common reasons customers replace this part include liquid spills, missing or cracked keycaps, and keys that have simply stopped registering after years of daily use.

Key Features

• Backlit Keys – type comfortably in low light, with consistent brightness across rows
• Direct Fit – matches the original 840 G5/G6 layout, including trackpoint and mouse buttons
• Brand New – not refurbished, not a used pull
• Includes Backlight Cable – ready to install, nothing extra to buy
• US Layout – standard QWERTY English keyboard with correct legends
• Rigid Backplate – minimal flex even under firm typing
• Smooth Key Action – consistent actuation force across the whole deck
• Precise Cutouts – speaker grille and hinge clearance line up exactly with the chassis

Compatibility & Installation

Designed specifically for the HP EliteBook 840 G5 and 840 G6 chassis, this keyboard connects using the same ribbon cable and header as the factory part, so no rewiring or adapters are needed. Most swaps take 15-20 minutes with basic tools, and the palm rest assembly generally does not need to be removed. Because the mounting tabs and screw bosses are positioned exactly as HP specified, the keyboard sits flush with the deck rather than sitting slightly raised or crooked, which is a common complaint with mismatched aftermarket parts.

Performance & Reliability

Before shipping, each keyboard is tested key by key for response and backlight evenness, catching any dead keys or dim zones before the part ever reaches a customer. The key mechanism is rated for the same long-term use as an original HP keyboard, so it holds up under daily office or classroom typing rather than wearing out within months like some low-cost substitutes. Backlight brightness stays consistent across every key rather than fading unevenly toward the edges.

Ideal Users & Use Cases

This replacement is well suited to professionals whose 840 G5/G6 keyboard has failed from spillage or heavy use, IT technicians handling walk-in repairs, and organisations maintaining a stock of spares for EliteBook 840 fleets still deployed across their offices. It is also a sensible upgrade for anyone refurbishing a second-hand 840 G5/G6 unit before resale.
