Kamizkata Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hello I had a water spill accident and some got to my keyboard. I tried to get all the water out the best I could but the LEDs started to change colors ect. At this point I disconnected the keyboard and decided to take it apart (warranty already expired) and dry it out better. After googling where all the screws are I managed to get the keyboard open. At this point this white hard plastic part fell from somewhere inside the keyboard. I tried my best to find a spot for it but didn't have any luck. Can someone identify this part or even better give me an idea where I'm supposed to put it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeGeek Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Oh... that part is really important. It holds a ribbon cable to the bottom of the PCB. Watch some tear downs as there was one where some guy showed you where this piece goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamizkata Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 I don't think this part is the one holding the cables. There was 2 soft plastic parts looking similar to this that had a spot on the back board to hold the cables. But I think I saw one video where there was a very similar looking white part near the capslock/numlock LED location. Everything on the keyboard seem to works for now tho..

I think it was somewhere around there. Do you mind linking the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeGeek Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Here is the video where I think I saw the part. Sorry for not replying in a while, your post kind of got lost in the list lol. Anyway pretty sure that part is at 1:38. Oh and also, I think I recall there being a second piece of that somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
