| PB180c Keyboard Problem that's not the Keyboard. |
Posted by: avadondragon on 2017-02-13 15:36:42
The keyboard on my PowerBook 180c has many keys which are not functioning. I swapped it out for a working keyboard from a PowerBook 170 but the same keys are still not working. Anyone have any guesses where else the problem could be?

Probably connector damage, inspect carefully.

OK, I Just realize the computer seems to actually be KILLING new keyboards or I just happen to have 3 separate keyboards with the same keys broken. Same keys seem broken on another PowerBook now.

I am not positive but I think the issue is either the ribbon cable / plug connecting the top and bottom of the PowerBook or the whole PowerBook interconnect board. Now my trackball has gone with similar symptoms - swapping a known good part from another machine didn't help.
This post here seems to be exactly what I'm experiencing.

Update: I bought a replacement 180c interconnect board off eBay and it fixed everything!
