hi peeps,

I have a fuji s6120 laptop, three keys wouldnt work on it, so I purchased a replacement from the bay and on the replacement keyboard more then 3 keys do not work, a load more infact...

do you think the replacement keyboard is faulty...

I am thinking if it were the mobo then the same keys on both boards wouldnt work, same if it were a faulty connector...

what do you think?

pls pls help

thanks in advance..

cheers

Make a note of which keys are not working, then reattach the keyboard giving the connector a bit of a careful clean as you do. Do the faulty keys change?

Is the laptop still under warrenty?

did you post a while ago with a similiar problem?

Starting to sound like a faulty mobo. have you connected an external keyboard to check if its some sort of bizzare software issue?

Could be a Mobo problem??

laptop

Was the replacement sold as a 'new' part? You could return it then.

As far as the issues go, are the two keyboards identical? Not like it had a USA and now you installing a UK ?

Have you re-installed the old one to see if any more keys have broken? If it was a connector issue all along, you may find the old one now has more keys broken too.

the faulty keys on the inital faulty keyboard remain the same after disconnecting it and re installing it...

on the new keyboard more keys are faulty then on the initial faulty keyboard...

i tried cleaning the keyboard connector and still the same problem:

a) inital keyboard - 3 faulty keys
b) replacement keyboard - more then 3 faulty keys

I have contacted the seller and he has agreed to send me a replacement...

Its definately a UK keyboard, the layout is identical and it also has the same "part number" as the inital k/b

I thought it maybe the mobo but then the same keys on the new keyboard would not work, not totally different keys from the new k/b

if its the mobo, whats the possibility different keys would not function on diff keyboards?

thanks in advance...
