JakeBKK Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) it's usually a broken layer on the board when you have a row of keys not working. The rubber caps behind the keys like to wear out , too. ( single key failure) If it is a broken layer the best solution would be conductive paint., unless you have a pretty sophisticated soldering iron of course. Another simple fix could be : disconnect the keyboard mini connector, use a eraser to clean the contacts. whiff some contact cleaner in the mini jack and try again !

koolbreez Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 At Pantip Plaza on the first floor way in the back there is a big shop that deals strictly in batteries, and keyboards, they charge bt600 to change a laptop keyboard, and that price does include the new keyboard. Their shop is the one all the other repair shops at Pantip buy their keyboards from, and why all the other shops charge more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would buy a replacement on eBay and replace it yourself. If you are not comfortable doing that drop it to Tukom and get them to swap it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had to get a replacement for a CPQ keyboard about a year ago. Went to one of the places that specializes in replacement parts. The official HP-CPQ keyboard was more than 3,000b, the generic was app. 700b. Probably the same thing with different packaging. Guess which one I went with. Of course they are going to try to get you to buy the more expensive one. There are several in both Panthip and Fortune, and even the IT malls in provincial cities like Khon Khaen.

bendejo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 My cheap replacement was US-English only. I was happy with that, didn't ask about Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
