1.2Prologue
This How-to will instruct you how to read and write the ENE KB9022 keyboard controller on the
LA-A342P motherboard.
This process will clear every information in the bios. If you don‘t know how to restore UUID / SERIAL
do not do this!
1.3Keyboard Controller
ENE’s Keyboard Controller series is a highly integrated embedded controller (EC) with 128Kb
embedded flash for laptop platform. It appeals for low power consumption and best-in-class
performance to satisfy customers’ demand.
The system support functions include:
8051 MCU, LPC interface, PS/2 interface, Keyboard matrix encoder, PWM, A/D converter, D/A
converter, Fan controller, SMBus interface, GPIO, PECI, one wire master, SPI and ENE Serial Bus.
A small problem is the original JKB1 connector on the motherboard itself. The edge on both sides is a
bit wider than normal. You need to align the cable correct.
