[ILUG] OT Keyboard problem

[Steven Kavanagh]

I'd say that it's a case of the ribbon cable not seated correctly as it
sound like some of the cable is making contact but not all, hence only a
few button presses being registered.

If it's not that then replacement keyboards for the G60 aren't expensive at
all.
