    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Hey, sorry for not answering. Right now, I am on a work trip and my Thinkpad is at home. Once I am back home, I will try to disable the keyboard in BIOS, as you suggested, @Bruce. Apart from this, I think there is not much more for me to do so you can close this thread if that was why you asked...

    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Sorry, I thought I had everything. To be honest, I don't entirely know. It happened when I had a few people over and someone put a glass where he wasn't supposed to put it..... Pretty sure it was some juice. I was in another room and noticed a few minutes later - tried to turn it upside down...

    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Well, I guess I gotta accept my defeat then.

Thank you for your help; if I should stumble onto a creative solution at some point I will let...

    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Hey, I just tried again: Even with the keyboard completely removed from the mainboard the random typing is still happening, still only "<". One interesting thing I noticed, even though I don't know it matters: While the random typing usually happens all the time when I enter a 'field' you can...

    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Hey Bruce, thank you very much for your answer, I already appreciate your effort! I am pretty sure I undid both of the ribbon cables and had no keyboard attached at all and the random typing was still happening. However, I will confirm this and try again on Monday when I am back home. It...

    Solved Thinkpad E470 Keyboard Problems (spamming random key and not working properly)

    Hey everyone, I hope I've found the right place for my issue and sorry in advance for potentially writing in bad English (not native). I had an incident with my Lenovo Thinkpad E470 several months ago where I accidentally spilt some liquid over the keyboard. I hadn't been using it for a while...
