Hi, probably someone can help me with this.
I have an ibook g3, 500 with os x 10.3. I bought it a long time ago in Germany, so it has a German keyboard.
Yesterday I replaced the logicboard, since my ibook showed signs of the well known logicboard/ graphics failure. That went well, graphics are working now.
But, suddenly the hardware or the os does not recognize the keyboard anymore. I can not type in anything at the log in screen. No lights are working on the keypad as well. Funny thing is, that, when I hold down the apple key at the start up, this works and will get me into the start up options screen. So, I am not sure if it is a matter with the hardware or with the os.
Another thing I recognized: when I put the computer to sleep at the log in screen, the sleep led will light up, but then the ibook will immediately wake up. - This might be connected to the keyboard problem.
I bought the logic board replacement in the US. Could this be the problem? Does this logic board probably have trouble with the German keyboard? Or, do you think the logic board replacement is broken as well? Would using an American keyboard help?
Thanks for your help in advance!
