I’m trying to fix a laptop that apparently had water spilled on the keyboard a few months ago and the keyboard hasn’t worked since. The track pad works but isn’t as well as it should be. The laptop works fine with external keyboard and mouse.
I opened everything up and don’t see any evidence of a spill, including underneath the protective film. I removed the keyboard and cleaned it with IPA as well. All ribbon cables look to be perfectly fine. The only communication to the keyboard I can see is that the Fn key is permanently lit up.
The laptop also continuously beeps which I assume to be what happens when the computer receives too many inputs from the keyboard.
Is there anything else I should look at? I was debating putting a new keyboard in but if it sounds like it’s likely a motherboard issue then I won’t bother.
