Hello dear guys,
Had a problem today - some keyboard keys didn't work properly.
I opened the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) cover and saw that keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected it properly, closed the cover and switched laptop on. Now, all keys are working fine, BUT CAps Lock light is not working well. Key is functioning, but when I press it - the light come on, but as soon as I release the key - the light goes off. Light doesn't stay. Also when the actual function of caps lock is on, when I press any other key the light come on the surface of Caps lock key but it is dim.
I recheched keyboard cable again - all is fine, but Caps lock light doesn't stay on when pressed.
I do practice typing for the last 3 months for few hours each day, so I guess it also affects the life span of my keyboard.
Would appreciate any insights about this Caps Lock light. Many thanks, Vit

Thank you for your reply. But general solutions don't work here I am afraid.
My inner voice tells me that this is the specif problem inside of the cabling which can not be fixed, maybe only by replacement of keyboard cable or whole keyboard.
I appreciated your help anyways. My keyboard works, caps lock light is not so important, therefore I will close this question as solves. Cheers, Vit

Hi there @vitsirius
I understand that the Caps Lock LED is not working, after you had fixed a loose connection to your keyboard.
You may want to walk through this page and see if something may help

Also for your convenience here is the maintenance guide. It is possible when you were working on it one of the of the other connections was loose or became so.
