As the title suggest, I need pictures of the upper pcb on Compaq Portable I keyboards. I'm about to start a huge repair megathread that should help all us with dead keyboards, in a situation where we can easily repair them. But to continue my diagrams, I need pictures of variants.

Please post pictures in this thread, I need to see the placement of diodes and ics on the pcb. So far I have 2 variants in my possession, and I am sure they are probably a few more.

Many thanks in advance!
 
Is picture of the plus keyboard useful?
 
TYVM thats perfect! And it differs I believe from the 2 I own. I will try to get pictures up tomorrow and finish up the diagram. Till then here's an unfinished version...

Here's mine if you're still needing them, from a while ago. There's some more info on my method of foam replacement on the Caps Wiki page, I tried using chip bags for the foil and they seem to work alright (you have to put some force into it for it to recognize the keypress sometimes, but I don't know if it was any better as new).
