It looked like a keyboard problem, as the laptop keeps booting straight into BIOS depsite F2 not having been pressed. The Z1 boots fine if I disconnect the keyboard, but obviously I can't put my password in if I do that.<br /> <br /> I bought a replacement, supposedly working keyboard off eBay, but I still have the same problem. Anyone got any suggestions, as I don't have another Z1 to check the <a href="/action/r/http://www.ebay.com/">eBay</a> keyboard in, and I'm wondering if there may be some kind of motherboard fault instead of a bad keyboard?<br /> <br /> I tried using switch cleaner on the various ribbon cables on the motherboard, but that didn't help.<br /> <br /> Cheers, Jon.
