How do you repair an IBM laptop keyboard?
I tried to disassemble the two buttons beneath the touchpad to clean them but now the buttons don’t really function well unless I press hard on them. They don’t seem to come off the keyboard completely and they have a silver metal beneath each button to latch to something so I can’t really pick them apart.
I also accidently broke my blue ‘scroll’ button. It works but the right latch was broken.
I didn’t expect the keyboard to be put together so complicated. Hopefully there’s an expert out there who can help me out.
Probably really not worth the effort of fixing the keyboard, as they are really cheap now. But if this is a genuine IBM keyboard, see if you can get a replacement on Ebay.
If you’ve got it apart, be sure to clean every contact with rubbing alcohol, or window cleaner.
