In my experiences with laptops,
specifically IBMs and Dells, the connector for the
ribbon is probably the issue. I
would take special care to make sure the ribbon in the connector is seated
completely. I have yet to run
across a damaged keyboard caused from dried soda as sugar isn’t that
electrically conductive. But
stranger things have happened!! By the
way, what did you use to clean the keyboard? From:
silug-discuss-owner@silug.org [mailto:silug-discuss-owner@silug.org] On Behalf Of Daniel About a year ago spilt coke on my laptop keyboard. Was able to
turn everything off and do a quick clean up and a couple of the keys were
sticking. So this week I took the keyboard out and pulled everything
apart and cleaned it top to bottom. Now I reinstalled the keyboard and
neither Windoze or Linux can see it. I have double checked the ribbon
slot and it is in securly, what could be the issues? Does the ribbon have
to be all the way in it seems like there is a little bit left on top.
Could the keyboard be toasted because I waited to long to clean? |
