The keyboard is usually connected to the motherboard with a ribbon, and the touchpad with another ribbon. Stuff might have gotten into the connector and gummed it up. Carefully remove the ribbon from the motherboard, clean and reinstall. On Wed, 9 Jan 2019 at 13:03, Tim Tisdall via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Look up Louis Rossmann on youtube if you want to see what kind of repairs are in fact possible today and not that big a deal.
Yeah, those videos are exactly why I was looking for someone who does what he does. But it does seem to be a rare thing. I think my issue may just be the keyboard, but I don't think it's possible to open that part (and, of course, it's underneath everything else just to see if it's even possible). I miss the days where the keyboard could be pulled out from the top without having to even open the casing. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
