Hi
I have a Powerbook G4 1.6G 15inch. It has a keyboard fault where the '9' 'o' 'L' and period keys are not working. They don't work in OSX OR in Open firmware, which I think rules out any OS issues.
Things I have tried are:
1. All usual resets, PRAM, NVRAM, Reset-all etc.
2. tried external USB keyboard (works fine)
3. Reseated flex cables
4. Reseated keyboard connector
5. replaced keyboard with new part.
I would guess this only leaves the logicboard? But this seems like an extreme and expensive solution. Before I fork out for a logic board,
has anyone else come across the same issue, and have a solution?
Cheers
