I purchased a refurbished Asus G75VW and all was fine except for the keyboard, the led lights never worked and due to insufficient time I couldn't investigate whether it was a driver or hardware related issue for quite some time. I have now isolated the problem to hardware, but by now I am pretty certain the warranty is expired, and besides, I have heard many terrible things about how these computers come back from Asus with even more problems and I should be grateful that this is the only problem that I have.
Anyways back to the point, I am looking for the parts to fix this problem myself because like I've said, I know exactly what the issue is.
The little orange cord that gives power to the led lights on the keyboard is twisted, and I have heard that this cord is very fragile so that is obviously the problem. Now my question is, can this cord be removed from both the motherboard and the keyboard itself, or must I buy a whole new keyboard? If the cord is indeed replaceable can someone point me to where I might buy one or give me a part number so I can easily search for one, or do you think Asus would send me one?
Thanks for reading this far, help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
