Problem

I've had an unused laptop for over a year now (the motherboard's all messed up) and I've been thinking if it is possible for me to use the rest of it other than its hard disk and optical disk drive. Is it possible to use my laptop keyboard (or convert it) so that it can be used on my PC?

Fix for: Can I use my laptop keyboard for a PC?

Low Risk

Assuming your keyboard is a 'simple' ps/2 keyboard, you'd need to get a PS/2 keyboard connector, work out what is what, and so on. If the keyboard has no logic, you need microcontroller - such as a teensy, reverse engineer all the contacts and so on…
