Description: Reassembling an A1200 keyboard after cleaning (See my other photos...). Top left photo: Part way through reassembly, with the springs already laid out on the keyboard. Top right photo: Something I thought people ought to be aware of. The tape's wrapped around one of the edges of the keyboard metalwork, where the flexi-track ribbon enters the keyboard in order to prevent chafing on the sharp edges. I haven't added this tape - Either it’s original, or the previous user's added it. Bottom left photo: The internals of the A1200 keyboard. Bottom right photo: How a key works. Most PC keyboards tend to have two plastic layers, separated by a holed layer. On a PC, pressing a key causes one layer to push through the hole onto the other layer, making a contact. It would appear that A1200 keyboards have just one layer, with conductive pads on the bottom of each key. Hodgkinson.
