Re: Keyboard on TP seems to be dead!

This is all you need... I fixed mine, and if I can do it, you can do it. I'm no hardware guy. Just take it slow.

They break easy because of poor design around the ribbon cable connection...once it's apart you'll see. Behind the battery is a thin piece of metal that isn't reinforced/attached...so if you press the battery in with even more than slight pressure (or even if the phone receives a MINOR bump), those ribbon connections can come off easy.

Suggest you have some electric tape/duct tape on hand to reinforce the connections once it's open.
