Resolving The Problem

Below are items that need to be considered when using the Space Saver Keyboard:

  1. ThinkPad users will require an Keyboard/Mouse Connector Cable, Marketing Part Number 54G0441 (Effective withdrawal date: 03 Jan 2006), to connect directly to ThinkPad PS/2 mouse port.
  2. Spilling liquids onto the keyboard may cause it to fail, especially sugary liquids. If liquids are spilled in the keyboard try the following:
  • Turn the keyboard over to dump out the liquid.
    • After powering down and unplugging the PC, unplug the keyboard from the PC.
    • Run the keyboard under tap water for several minutes (do not immerse).
    • Turn it over to dump out all liquids and let it dry in that position for 72 hours.
    1. Dirty keys can be cleaned with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid getting liquid into the keyboard.
      1. Adjacent to the mouse port on the center rear of the keyboard is a port for a numerical keypad. There is no numerical keypad for this keyboard. A keypad is available from the keyboard manufacturer, Unicomp, Lexington, KY.
      2. Additional TrackPoint caps can be obtained by ordering, part number 84G6537.
      3. The keyboard cable is shipped detached from the keyboard. The keyboard cable is a separate FRU Part Number (84G2531) from the keyboard.
