    Hi,

    My kid spilled juice on my R405 keyboard. T and Y and some other keys are now dead. I took off the keyboard and I can see that one of the white line in the transparent square (looks like printed circuit) is burned. The computer itself is fine since it works with a usb keyboard.

    Anyone has an idea where I can buy a keyboard replacement for this model ? I emailed LG but haven't got an answer from them. I also wonder if there's any "generic" brand that can fits in this model.

    dont wanna answer myself, but this one goes out to any lurkers who have the same problem :

    A simple search for "Lg parts" in google gives ya the site where you can search up parts. There is also a toll free number too.

    I ordered a part yesterday, but I gave the wrong postal code, so we'll see how that goes.
