A2000 Keyboard Problems

[DiskChris]

So I turned on my amiga today to discover when I press either the "a" or "1" key it prints other characters on the screen....a toggles the caps lock and prints LKJHGFDSA while 1 prints =-0987654321'

All the other keys seem to work fine....I tried plugging in the keyboaord again....I don't have any other keyboards to test, but I'm thinking that since the rest of the keys work it sounds more like a keyboard short, so I think the amiga itself is probably fine??

Actaully every key in the first row going down doesn't work 1,q,a, and z....pressing these send multiple key presses....and no liquid exposure

I'm having trouble getting the keyboard apart....I got the case off, got all the pcb screws, yet I can't figure out how to separate the pcb from the keys?? EDIT: Nevermind it appears the keys are soldered to the board....DUH haha

[DiskChris]

Nope A's are black....But I swear these switches are soldered....or am I missing something???

[DiskChris]

I sprayed a gallon of contact cleaner in there and it fixed it! But I seem to have lost one of those darn springs in the process....gonna have to cannobolize a pen

Great idea, eded up using a couple of the numpad keys as donors, I mean whoever uses those anyway:rolleyes:
