Yep sounds like the ADB port need to be resoldered, happens to almost 
everybody...what I did for awhile was fold a little piece of paper and 
forced it into the ADB port and cable on the keyboard to hold the 
connection until I finally got it fixed...got charged $40 for something 
that only took a minute to fix!
