Hi all., I am working on a Dell Inspiron 15-7547 (MB DA0AM6MB8F1 Rev F). The problem is with the keyboard. Some keys on the keyboard are not working. Replaced with a brand new known good keyboard, still the same, excatly the same array is not working. The KBC controller on this board is IT8528E. My question is, I have checked many forums & they say that this chip does not need programming. Is this ture & if not how will I program it???? Thanks in advance if someone can give me some answers.

Re: It8528e kbc
Hello, IT8528E is not programmable. If you see in the diagram of the board on page 41, U18 is the EC programming chip, that is, the IT8528E programming is external. It is always a good idea to use a keyboard test to see if the problem is really there. You can check or change the keyboard connector on the motherboard and test the tracks between the connector and the respective pins on the EC, if there is continuity between them.

Re: It8528e kbc
Thank you so much for the reply "master7". I thought it was programmable. As I told you before that I put in a brand new keyboard & the same keys not working. Now its night in Canada I cannot tell you surely which keys are not working but its the array of "P" "O" & more which I am sure are not working. I will surely check the continuity tomorrow & see whether all track are working or not. But can you confirm whether this IO Chip IT8528E controls the Keyboard??

Re: It8528e kbc
Thanks "mcplslg123" really appreciate... I checked all the all line for continuity between kbd connector and io chip, 100% ok. All these Keyb array lines & going to this IO contr'l. There are no other issue with the notebook except the few aplhabets on the keyboard are not working. I have ordered th chip, mine was IT8528E FXA (year 1414). Hopefully will get it soon & will surely report the progress. Thanks
