Keyboards

Posted by Simon Welsh | 22 December 2009 | Comments (3)

For those that have seen me using my laptop within the last 54 weeks, you'll probably notice that I had two keyboards for some strange reason. That reason happens to be due to this:

That's the connector between the keyboard and trackpad. There's a blurry closeup as well:

That particular scratch stopped the keyboard/trackpad from registering as the USB interface it is. This meant that my internal keyboard and trackpad didn't work. So I've stolen the one from Strider. Now it registers itself and I've got a working trackpad again :)

No more need to carry around an external keyboard and mouse.

Getting used to only having two buttons is taking a while though.

For bigger versions of the photos, open in new tabs and remove "_resampled/resizedimage600450-" from the URL.Though that 450 may be a different number all together.

  • Strider was alive and well when I talked to him last week.

  • Hasn't Strider been dead for around about 54 weeks?
