Dell Wireless Keyboard to Wired One?
« on: Tue, 19 November 2013, 15:07:51 »
I have a New dell keyboard that i got yesterday from the second hand shop and it is wireless. It has no receiver. See the problem? Is there any way i could get it to become wired?

Thanks Elliot,

You can't, unless you do some complicated soldering.

So there is a way? Can you tell us about this "complicated soldering"?

Could i do the complicated soldering without soldering (i'm a severe noob [I don't have a soldering iron])?

If so tell me how please,

Thanks Elliot

You need a soldering iron to solder.
