I think I broke my keyboard please help!

[marshal11]

I took apart my HP g62 laptop to clean the fan. when I put it back together, the G, H, ", esc and backspace (possibly more) do not work. did I break my keyboard? is the bus cable loose? please help.

Check the cable first, then check whether the locking screws beneath the body are the correct ones and are tight enough. Especially the ones below those areas on the underside of those keys....

Does the keyboard work at all? I'm guessing that the cable isn't in properly, and/or at all.
