    I had posted this in CF-30 thread, but probably it's not just a CF-30 problem:
    my rubber backlit keyboard from old CF-28 does not work on newer CF-30CTQAZBM.
    Everything is fine, all FN hotkey work, and F11 button glows red, but all other keys are dark and hitting FN-F12 does not turn lights on. The same keyboard worked perfectly on CF-28...
    Is there anything to be done about it? I have read about a similar case here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/336882-cf-m34-backlit-keyboard-install-problems.html
    with a solution to check the wiring contacts, but they seem to be in order.
    Is it possible that CF-28 keyboard just doesn't work with CF-30 ?

    Thanks in advance!
