How to replace r100 keyboard? i took the bottom and then i don't know how to take the keyboard

Go to settings, then to sounds, and the bottom item is keyboard clicks switch it to off. Hope this helps.

Hi,yes there is but you'll have to open the system up,if you have no prior I.T expertise I'd suggest you take to a qualified Technician,but if you do here is how:First remove the Battery,then uncouple the system taking of where each of the screws go to then locate the CMOS battery(small battery Lithium Ion mostly in the shape of a cent or smaller),it may be underneath the keyboard or just behind once the external cover is open.unplug it from the system for about an hour or two reconnect it,couple the system and boot,go to Bios,reset Date and Time and save,then exit.

when you start the computer up with the install disk of your windows there is an option to format the drive. Your other options are more technical (boot disks etc).

I'd suggest sending it back to where you bought it, this sounds a lot like a factory problem and it should be covered under warranty.

I'd look at trying to replace the BIOS battery...

I did the same some two years ago, with the R100 on. I switched everything off, dismounted the computer body (not the screen)up to the last screw, and dried that sweet coffee from everywhere where I found it. Mostly this was the keyboard and mouse. The motherboard is luckily protected by some plastic sheet.

Regarding the keyboard, after disconnecting it from the motherboard, I washed it completely under flowing water and then let it dry for several days. In the meantime, I used a USB one. Since then, I used the same keyboard for two years until now, when it died, apparently rather from some motherboard-related reason than water. So I think - you may get a new keyboard, but if youre lucky, you may as well revive this old one.

Probably, could have some slide catches at the top edge of the keyboard instead, need a thin blade screw driver oh lift the keyboard. Some laptops mark the screws with the letter K in indicate keyboard screws, some keyboard screws may be hidden under the battery pack, CD/DVD drive.

We use these and several times I have had to pull the battery, disconnect the power cord and hold the power button for 30 seconds (count slow). After that, it boots fine.

The CMOS Battery is behinf the main battery behind a platic shield. The shield is relitivly fragile and glued around the edges. Care should be used removing it to prevent ripping. The battery itself is 3" flat pack glued to the case. Mine was wrapped in a black heat shrink with two wires exiting.
The connector is under the keyboard. You will need to remove the 6 scres from the bottom of the case to release and remove the keyboard. The keyboard ribbon cable is attached through a ZIF socket. Be sure and release the cable before removimng the keyboard. Youll have to trace the CMOS battery leads to determine the correct connector.
I found a Maxell ML2032 rechargable battery. Unfotunatly all the 3" flat pack batteries I have found are LITHIUM ION and not rechargeable. If I find a replacement I will post the information.

its either incompatible damaged or over its limit
