$#!@ Keyboard Laptop Problem

My laptop is 2 months out of warranty and I started to experience a really annoying problem:

When I type n, it types ny
When I type b, it type bt
When I hit the space bar, it erases
When I type é, it types é^



What can I do?

If you have checked that it is not some software related issue or virus (try a linux live boot), then try reseating the keyboard.

Ultimately you can just buy a replacement keyboard.

 

do you know a good place/online store to buy replacement parts for thinkpads? I have these T61 that I want to replace a few parts. thanks

 

try marketplace at forum.thinkpads.com and ebay, if you can't find the necessary parts there, you can always go to IBM parts.

 

I tried google and you meant by IBM Parts is this the one?

I tried entering the FRU for example the palm rest for T61 (42W2470) and had this response when doing the seach > The part number you have entered is either incorrect or cannot be found. Please re-enter the number, or enter another number and try again.

 

Hi,

What do you mean by "reseating the keyboard"

Thanks

 

Unscrew all the screws holding the keyboard in place, make sure the cable is seated firmly, make sure the keyboard's aligned properly and screw it back down.
