Does anyone have the pinout for the internal keyboard connector on the PB1400?
The one that I had declared "dead" works just fine hooked up to external monitor and kb/mouse with the lid closed, it's only with the lid open that there are problems. (Which seems to negate its value as a 'mobile' machine.) I can get it to get through various stages of startup before it shuts down as if I had pushed the "On/Off" button. But with the lid closed, it ignores the internal keyboard, thereby ignoring that input.
I have tried to different keyboards, on two 1400's, and both work fine on one, and I see this behavior with both keyboards on the other. Which makes me wonder if the connector itself has a short in it. I don't see anything obvious, but would like to know if two pins are dedicated just to the on/off circuit. If so, I'll just disconnect 'em; and make do with using the power button on the back.
Also, it has the same symptoms even if I have *NO* internal keyboard plugged in. (Even with an external.)
(Bonus: If I get this figured out, then someone, instead of getting a 'dead' 1400c/166 will get a perfectly good 1400c/133.)
Finally, an update to my sales, I am taking machines in in half an hour for shipping estimates (and in one case, actual shipping.) This is, finally, certain.
