hi there , i have a question regarding me having an issue with the keyboard ribbon cable . everytime I reconnect the ribbon cable differents keys stop working or no keys works at all . but if I left the keyboard panel and cable is well extended the whole keys are back working again .
the cable pins are connected correctly I don’t thing the issue is related to the connector end . hope someone can help
Maybe the issue is with the keyboard ribbon cable itself? Or possibly how it is seated in the connector? If it is slightly askew, some of the issues you describe can happen. Try to make sure the cable is seated fully into the connector and as square to the connector as possible. Good luck.
