[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1010367, member: 46727"] I'm not sure if the keyboards are the same or if it would make a difference. You would have to check the part number against the original one. I've seen strange things happen with electronic equipment when swapping out a component with one that was not the original. Also, when you pulled the keyboard connector from the main board, were you careful to hold down the board end and then gently rock the connector loose? If a very small crack developed around the connector or elsewhere, that could be troublesome. I've done that myself when in a hurry - causing more work and repairs. Check the main board best you can. Try flexing the board gently around the connector with the machine on to see if perhaps it's a hairline crack or loosened ground. Use the eraser end of a wood pencil or a chopstick to press around the connector. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
