I succesfully opened the pinetab2 very carfully and replaced a front screen. Put it all back together and...... Everything works, except the keyboard. I was really carful with the ribbon cables. The keyboard cable doesnt appear missalined or broken anywhere.
i'm assuming the cable must be broken internally.
i thought maybe i put the docking connector back in, reversed, so maybe the pins are in reversed order? It looks like theres only one way to screw down the ribbon cable end with the connector pins into the casing.
so im assumin i need a new ribbon cable. Can i buy one specifically sized for that keyboard? Is that kind of ribbon cable a standardized thing?
short of that, does anyone have a suggestion on why the keyboard may not be responding?
is there a way via command line or by kde info center where i could see if the keyboard hardware is present or not?
thanks in advance,
