My brother has an Asus UL80 VT laptop. It's a nice laptop to be honest. Anyway, he spilt a bit of coffee onto the keyboard and it still worked well... no problems there. Today he decided to get a friend to take a look as I wasn't home in the morning... the point was to clean and make it not so smelly even though it worked. Dunno what they did, but they somehow broke the keyboard ZIF connector!
The ZIF connector is completely broken and I can see metal pins hanging out of it. Not sure what options we have here... but do they sell ZIF connectors so I can solder it back on?
We have option 2 which is spend $80 on a motherboard. But the motherboard will be from the UL80JT with the Core i3 instead of the C2D we have now. Looking at pictures online, these two models are exactly the same exterior, and eBay pictures of the board show similarities too... do you guys think the UL80JT motherboard will fit into a UL80VT? Thanks.
