Damaged A2/3/4000 keyboard
« on: October 22, 2003, 04:17:41 PM »
I just received a keyboard which I purchased from ebay. It is one of the newer style Commodore keyboards.

The problem is that the Return and Enter keys don't work!! However, every other key works fine. Is it possible to repair such an old keyboard? What should I do  ?

Hmm, might be canceling again. LOL

Make the seller refund your purchase.


Nah unfortunately I can't it was advertised with "Is sold as is". Oh well.

Hello Lo (I was going to put Hi Lo, but I thought against it ;-) )

Doesn't "seem" to be cracked, I could be mistaken though. I've looked on the web for Mitsumi keybaords of the Commodore nature layout, but to no avail.

Sorry man, I was talking abit of Greek there.

Yeah, the C64 keystrokes are shorter, I prefer the feel of the Amiga keyboard moreso than the C64 one. You reckon that any PC repairer would be able to repair it?

Well I just tried roughening up both keys a little, cleaned them, but still nothing. Unless I have done something wrong or not adequately, I gather that the circuitry is broke. Looks like I gotta get a new keyboard thingy. But how would that nine-pin connector thing fit on to an A4000 from the A1200 spare keypad as Kronos suggested?
