Introduction

The keyboard sends the information that you type on the keys through a ribbon cable connected to the motherboard. A faulty ribbon cable can cause keys to not work when pressed or type incorrectly.

Before using this guide, double-check your keyboard for any debris that may be preventing the keys from being depressed and make sure to test your keyboard thoroughly before deciding to replace it.

Before beginning this guide, make sure your laptop is powered off and disconnected from any external power source.
