ThinkPad G40 keyboard keys not working

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Sun Mar 30, 2014 4:13 pm

On my ThinkPad G40 the 3 keys not working at all are the GH" All the others work, Could the cable be almost unpluged? The Trackpoint works fine and GH surround it.

Nope.

Either a defective keyboard, or the cable. A partially unplugged cable would not behave in such a manner.

I took the keyboard out and it was pluged in, removed the GH key and seen their is coffe spilage under the keys and remember when I bought this off ebay a long time ago it looked like someone spilt coffe over it, I just orderd a used keyboard off ebay and will use this one for parts then.

Amen.

However, the worst damage I've ever seen - of a spill nature, that is - was from Ben & Jerry's "Cherry Garcia"...
