I have got compaq presario v4000. my keyboard is not working. I tried to replace the keyboard from another v4000 but same result. the keyboard connector looks fine. I think it is keyboard controller chip which is bad, but I can not locate it on the motherboard. it might be max1907 or max1999. can someone confirm the CHIP PLZ? and also the location?
regards
hi

Laptop mainboards are not designed for repair. The parts are often taylor made and repair attempts can make things worse.
As for why the keyboard broke well things break that's life.
