My M0110 was working perfectly three days ago, two days ago the S key stopped working, then yesterday the whole keyboard stopped working. I guessed it was probably a bad connector where the cable plugs in, but wiggling and poking at it doesn't seem to help. Today after many attempts at unplugging and replugging the keyboard I got it to work for about two seconds until it died again.
Anybody know what the common failure points are for a whole keyboard failure? Most of the M0110 discussion I've seen revolves around repairing specific keys on a keyboard that otherwise works. The keyboard only has two ICs and a small number of caps, and none of those pesky SMD electrolytics. I disassembled the keyboard and the inside looks good visually, with no obvious coffee spills or signs of trouble. With the keyboard case removed, I tried poking at different areas with a plastic tool while the Mac was running, but nothing I did helped return it to life.
