andy01603 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Is it easily possible to reattach the zif socket on my Samsung r519 laptop ? I noticed there is an alternative port labelled kbd on the board but the ribbon is too short. My easiest solution for this tired laptop may be to simply use a usb keyboard but a fix would be neater.

Jelly Bean Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hello and welcome. I do not advise anyone unless they know what they are doing fully,to open up a laptop. If the laptop is still under warranty then send it back for repair. If not then it's off to a computer shop or USB connection. JB. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Plastic Nev Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 A lot depends on how that connector got broken off, if all pins pulled out of the motherboard, with a fine tipped soldering iron may be able to put it back, if however, the socket or motherboard is damaged, it will be near impossible to find a new socket, so most repair shops will fit a new motherboard if one is still available. Even if you are fully capable of fitting the new motherboard, it can still be an expensive job. Best to use a USB keyboard for simplicity. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?
