Enigma II Keyboard/some other massive problem

[boneill]

Hi guys,

Just turned my laptop on for the first time in over a month and had a few issues.

First off the monitor didn't even turn on, so the thing is on, but there were no lights anywhere. I restarted a few times till I got it working and then it had the same keyboard issue I've had before. Where the laptop gets stuck on certain keys, so if I'm typing and hit a b, b will get stuck on the OS and I get a hundred b's in a row. Also things like hitting the space cause the capslock to go one and often I type and nothing actually comes up. It'd done the typing thing before but I just used patience to get around it. I just reinstalled Windows 7 on it, when I got to the enter CD key part it had the same problem. At least the monitor is coming on most times now

Any ideas?

I had this issue with a laptop once and the culprit was a poorly seated connection from the motherboard to the monitor/keyboard to the motherboard.
I had to reseat the cable and it fixed the problem, the pain is (depending on the laptop) getting to the cables that connect the monitor/keyboard.
If it is under warranty may be worth waiting to see if a PCS member answers your thread or give their after sales line a call.

Thanks for the advice!

I called PCS support and they sorted me out. Sent the manual for how to take the thing apart. I reattached the keyboard to the motherboard (after an infuriatingly long time of playing with the tiniest component) and now it works like new. Just reinstalling all the drivers again...

Glad it's sorted.
