Keyboard of my lenovo y500 has been through rough usage and some of keys have surrendered . I want to ask that will I have to replace whole keyboard or only the keys which are not working. Also please tell me how much this is gonna cost me.
Also please tell me which 128gb ssd i can use to replace my internal hdd . Can i use my hdd as external hdd using enclosures.

You can get replacement keys here. You can't get the whole keyboard anywhere in india except maybe in service centres.

Get a msata SSD here, no need to remove primary HDD.
Your laptop has a msata slot(located at the opposite end to the primary HDD). Performance is same between SATA and mSATA SSDs.
Only buy these brands:
1.Samsung.
2.Plextor.
3.Crucial.
NOTHING ELSE!
