has broken the plastic hinges that hold the keyboard connectors - x100e - corrections? solutions?

Some time ago I had to disassemble a x100e lenovo to replace the LCD, which proved that the fine.

But being the inexperienced decoration that I am, I had no idea how to remove the cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard as well as the cable to the motherboard vga port. At the time wherever I am done with it, I broke the plastic flap that holds the cable in the motherboard.

My solution for the last year has been to stuff some paper folded into the region to help maintain the cables against the pins on the motherboard, but it has been driving me craaaazy. The contact is crap then the trackpad works intermittently and the external monitor changes color when I apply pressure on the keyboard.

I was wondering if you guys might advise a fix. Are there spare parts? is there a better way to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi, nuguns101

I did some research and found the Manual of Maintenance of hardware for your system. Unfortunately, there is not of the spare parts for that particular item. I did a little searching around the web and found this article that can help. You can try the suggestions, but I'd be careful if you try the duct tape method.

It will be useful,

  • Equium 80 - 132 has PSA87E - the LCD connector pinout

    Can someone help me or direct me to a site (if not here :)) where I can find the pinout of the connector from the motherboard to the LCD from a satellite
    with
    model name: EA80-132
    Model No.PSA87E - 0030069K

    Hello

    I tried to find all the manuals but unfortunately without success. If you search for the connector on the motherboard where you can plug the display cable, it should be placed somewhere in the middle. When the keyboard is removed check connector in the upper mid position (tails).

    Sorry, but I wasn't able to find any nice document with screenshot. In any case I hope that you will be able to find the right connector.

  • Portege R500 - replacement of the keyboard - success

    After buying a new keyboard for the R500 on EBay about a year ago, I finally blew the courage to replace a badly scratched by a new keyboard. The reason I've waited? I was worried about how to get out the old keyboard (it is locked down to the chassis, and it was obvious that I have would hurt one during the withdrawal.

    There is a nice write-up general on how to disassemble a R500 here:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Portege-R500/disassemble-laptop-remove-hard-drive.htm

    The description above is not to discuss the keyboard however, so here's some additional information and tips:

    * Read this whole procedure before you start - it's simple, but not for the faint of heart.

    * Shut down, unplug the power, remove the battery.

    * Make sure that you have the correct keyboard for your model. The US keyboard is p/n G83C000903US for example. One I removed was a Rev 1 and a new one, I had a Rev 2 (don't know the difference - they look identical). They can get as low as $40-mais check the part number before you buy.

    * The keyboard connector is located under the computer, and so you will have to take off from the bottom, carefully following the instructions in the link above.

    A couple of notes: (a) the cable Ribbon PCMCIA connector must be opened to disconnect the cable, as this is the only thing that prevents you from removing the bottom of the computer. You can easily do so through access memory on the back door, but BE careful not to damage the cable lock. It works by switch to the top the little plastic lever that is held in place by small pieces of plastic on the sides of the connector that flex * a little *. Be gentle with this connector. When you put it back later-connector, if you placed the cable all the way into the connector, you can lock with only slight pressure down on the connector, and it will snap into place.

    (b) there are other types of cable Ribbon connectors use too. For example, to unlock the keyboard connector, now visible also on the bottom of the deck, slide both ends of the connector in the direction where the cable plugs in. They are snug and will only move about 1/4 ", be gentle but firm.

    (c) the two tiny connectors blocks free access to the water of the keyboard do not have locks on them. We're a band with only a few drivers, and one is a red and white power connector. Just pull out them. All the other connectors, you will probably miss through requires unlocking, so be careful!

    _Now back to the keyboard: _

    Once you have managed to disconnect his cable on the bottom, turn the laptop and start to remove the keyboard on the edges. It is supported by many small pieces of sticky tape, 2 faces, and that's it. As the base of the keyboard is made of aluminum, it is likely that you will distort the keyboard a bit as release you it, even though it may be downplayed maybe using a tool like a rule or something plastic and pry with it. Take care of not to damage the connector of the Ribbon and try to ignore these scary cracking sounds that identify each section!

    Once you have turned it off, you must remove any excess tape before starting point and again put a bunch of small pieces of new, good quality 2-sided tape (such as 3 m). No need to use anything stronger or thicker - just put a bunch of parts everywhere on the base, especially near the edges and the space key.

    Now, finally, turn the keyboard in position, making sure that you screw the connector back Ribbon through to the correct place. Turn the laptop over and re - insert and lock the Ribbon connector (make sure that it is directly and fully forward lock connector). All other connectors back in too. Then come back and push down hard on all sections.

    Re-assembling, taking care to put the 4 mm and 6 mm screws in the right places and a tiny on the side.

    Cross your fingers and turn it on!

    Good luck!

    In any case, a friend of exchanged me the keyboard and told me to remove the keyboard first support. Who s the plastic cover between the keyboard and LCD display. So open the LCD screen and use your fingers on both sides and lift the keyboard bracket. There are two screws that attach the keyboard under the door-keyboard. Remove the two and lift the keyboard. Last but not least remove the keyboard plate to remove the cable from the keyboard connector.

    As you can read it's not that complicated and I hope I could help a bit! :)

  • Unable to release the keyboard cable in Omnibook XE2

    Hello world

    This is my first post here and it's probably going to be a silly question but I am a novice when it comes to disassemble the laptop so I thought I might as well ask people who know better things that I don't want to spoil anything.

    I have this old Omnibook XE2 I started to disassemble but got stuck because I cannot remove the keyboard connector cable. The Service Manual shows both sides of the cable and then gently pull upwards, but it won't come out this way. Happens a little when I shoot, but I pull hard enough and I fear I'm going to break something. I thought there might be a lock or a clip that must be open to pull the cord, but as I've never done this before, I am a little hesitant on how to do it.

    I enclose a few photos so you can see what the connector looks like.

    Any help is appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    Laszlo

    Hello lackua,

    You must unplug the Ribbon for the keyboard cable.

    You will need to remove the base plastic too; It should be part of the Ribbon.

    I would like to know how everything goes.

    Nice day.

  • I can't get my keyboard connector cable to go into the slot

    I am trying to replace my Macbook Pro 17 "keyboard of the computer after a most unfortunate incident of beef broth. I installed the new keyboard but cannot get the keyboard connector Ribbon to enter the bus connector. I lifted the barrier of pinching the back connector and others, but when I try to move the Ribbon connector will not ride in any fair and other kinks in the opening. Rather than throw across the room as I am currently considering is anyway to run the cable into the connector, so I can lock the bar top and finished the replacement?

  • Broke the plastic connector that holds DVD Ribbon on the motherboard

    Hello

    I got my new Alienware M14x open and looked at the DVD player when I accidentally broke the plastic connector that keeps the ribbon cable to the connection on the motherboard. This is the connector that holds the zero insertion force (ZFI) on the tablecloth.

    It was a negligent act on my part, and I take responsibility.

    Is it possible to buy this small plastic connector? I have no part number. I do not use my DVD player at all and looked out swapping for a HARD drive. To do this, I need the connector to the ribbon cable can be connected to the motherboard.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I managed to solve this problem without using the original part.

    Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.
