I noticed that the plastic piece that holds the flat ribbon cable in place is broken. I have been having problems with some of the letters on the keyboard not working so I took the computer apart and found that the connector was missing a piece and was wondering if this could be the problem and just how difficult this would be to replace?
Why spend 10 greenbacks fixing a broken merchandise once you may get a sparkling one for nine.ninety 5? verify workplace depot and/or workplace max revenues papers. I only have been given a sparkling Microsoft keyboard for under ten greenbacks.
Depending on your keyboard it can vary in difficulty. I'd recommend taking it to Best Buy or some other repair center -Itachi Uchiha
I would replace the ribbon cable since you found out that it is broken.
I'm guessing this is a laptop you are talking about. If the connector is on the ribbon cable it self then it wouldn't be to hard, just replace the keyboard, but if the connector is on the mother board, then it could be a hassle. Finding the part would be hard without buying a new motherboard.
