switching power T60 without keyboard

#1 Post by sman33 » Sat Oct 19, 2013 3:03 am

I am using IBM T60, where the power switch is integrated with the keyboard,
I can't turn on my notebook since it flashed with coffee
the whole button doesn't worked including the power switch after then
at first I want to apply the USB keyboard
but it is useless because USB keyboard doesn't have power switching especially for IBM T60
I opened and release the keyboard and I found the keyboard connector on the main board

:oops: :?: :?: ....somebody help me
which pin that I can short connect to switch it on !??

I suggest you get another keyboard instead, from $14.88 onwards on eBay.

Docking station have power button and can start docked thinkpad.

Keyboard connector is to small (pins are to dense) to short somthing in it.
In schematics 19pin is "PWRSWITCH" but i dont know where is it and what pin it must be shorten with.

So try to find replacement keyboard or docking station.

I'm more inclined to think that the system board is fried, rather than just the keyboard. But, I guess you won't know that for sure until you can connect another keyboard or dock as suggested above.
