I had hoped there would be a large easy to solder connector but alas not, also tracing the wires back is nigh on imposible as its jumbled up in the keyboard keys, and is all in a ribbon. Im not going to be using the onboard keyboard, so I might just butcher it and see what happens. I dont want to buy a dock to find I end up with the same problem, also I dont want the extra space that a dock would take up. I ll put my thinking cap on with this one....
3 Images attached, one for the front, back of keyboard, and one of the keys I atacked to see how it works.
Thanx for the pics, but please explain what you have there in each pic. I think there is more then enough there to solder a button or relay.
The first pic seems to have a metal contact on the bottom of the button (if it is the button) that metal contact either pushes a button on a board, OR makes the connection between 2 contacts on a board. Either way, there should be 2 contacts to solder tow.
If not, the board in the second pic has several wires coming off of it. One or two of them SHOULD be related to the power button. You will need to get a Multimeter with a continuity tester to work out which wires.
This is really not that hard. No matter what, there HAS TO BE a switch with some contacts. It is just a matter of figuring out which contacts are the right contacts.
