Is there a fix for the keyboard ribbon problem.

I fixed it myself by removing the underside panel and then reinserting the ribbon cable that was only half in and used electrical tape to secure the connection

I experienced the same. The solution is to switch the keyboard off before closing.

Our space bar had issues too. We returned it when the seller said they could send out another one. 3 weeks later I hear they are out of stock! When searching the internet, it seems lots of these keyboards have this same defect.

I'm not entirely sure. Try and make sure his surface's settings allow for the keyboard. Maybe restart it? And try cleaning the metal connectors on the keyboard with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol.

the trouble is not the ribbon but with the size of the spool. I read on other posts that the solution was to un-spool the new one and put it onto the current spool. Took about 5 minutes to replace it on the current spool and it works just fine. Mine is a Corsair Deluxe as well.

Unfortunately this model is not compatible with the keyboard. Thank you for your interest.

It is the complete keyboard with ribbon cable. Just unclip the clips along the top edge of the old keyboard and lift up the keyboard to see the ribbon cable. Pull up on the black clip holding the ribbon cable to the motherboard to release it. Reverse all these steps to put the new keyboard back in.

no, but my wife is the owner, she uses it quite often and no keyboard problems. Maybe you used them too much or are hard typers? good to know anyway. You should consider replacing the keyboard, it shouldnt be pricy.

I can't tell for sure if you can or cannot, but I had to ship mine to them to get it fixed. It took so long that I had to buy another keyboard. It's been working fine since I got it back. I'd say send it to them just so you are covered in case it never works again. I believe if you try fixing it, you may be stuck with a broken item that cannot be returned because you tempered with it. Just my $0.02 :)

I've had the same issue. I started turning off the keyboard when not in use and it reconnects when I turn it back on. That's definitely not the best solution but it has worked ok for me. I don't know if you we're having the same exact issue, mine typically did this after it was dormant a minute or so.

There is no problem in my laptop except some little problems about the keyboard

Don't bother fixing the ribbon cable cuz it'll break again like mine.This time touchscreen also stopped working then battery stopped charging little after that.I replaced with new battery, new AC adapter, still didn't work. Ihave to buy or replace with a new system board. It powers on though it just won't charge, so pretty much useless for me on the road.

I also have the 5-color keyboard and had only one key (the del key) that had the sticking problem. I was able to fix it simply. I think the 3-color keyboards are a bit more prone to the problem but only based on the other reviewers. I think (just an option) the 5-color keyboards, costing more are an upgrade to the 3-color and so receive a little more care during prep and assembly.

It does not come with instructions, However I can tell you where they are located. If you look at the top of the keyboard on the computer you will see six small retaining clips that hold the keyboard on you will need a small scribe or a small screw driver to push them in and take the keyboard off. Then once you have the keyboard loose the ribbon cable attaches to the MB with a retaining clip be careful when flipping this clip up once the clip is flipped up pull the ribbon cable out by pulling on the piece of plastic that is attached to the ribbon. Once you have done this take the new ribbon cable and slide into the connector and push the clip down and just snap the keyboard back into place.
