820-4924 Touchpad (water damaged) + Keyboard not working

[djdblaster]

This one has touchpad corroded, which yet has to be replaced. As for the keyboard, it only reacts to power on off button. PP3V42_G3H_TPAD and PP3V3_S4_TPAD are present. Tried another keyboard, didn't work.

Can this model work without touchpad connected? I'd like to get the keyboard working for now.

it needs the touchpad connected for the keyboard to work other than the power

Keyboard WILL NOT work without the trackpad. Need to try new trackpad and trackpad flex

We do not use hot air, just slowly work something flat under the glue a little at a time

Battery removed without heat and iso. Thanks all for tips! Mark as solved.

P.S. I've replied earlier to this thread as "Mark solved", but apparently those attack on forums(?) took out some latest comments out.

 

[shanenin]

were the removed posts in regards to using iso?

Should be as same as the last post.
