Went to give this a go last night but.
Last time I tried it I had 2 other Airs on my shelf with the same logic board that I pulled the bios from, I now dont have these and stupidly diddnt save the bios dump to the PC. Do you have agood bios for this I could try please?
Thanks in advance,.
That should keep me busy :ROFLMAO:
II tried to try a fresh bios but I just keep getting a weird error message on the madusa when tyring to write a clean bios file.. Seems to read it OK. Have you encountered this before?
Keyboard arrived and this fixed this problem, Works perfectly and with backlight,
But spacebar is missing, I did try to swap over the one from the original keyboard but it just keeps dropping off, This seems impossible! Have you any tips on swapping a spacebar on one of these butterfly keyboards?
