no, it can't be repaired, I have tried special keyboard repair kit with graphite and all.
the problem is in those two connectors, I damaged them badly.
Better sorry than worry.

yes, but well this A500 is 'special', it is my first Amiga and the only one bought new, not secondhand
I have found very similar keyboard but with German keys, Can I use its membrane? (will extra keys just be ignored?)
Better sorry than worry.

I have build PC adapter years ago, and no PIC16F84 does not need special code its basically the same as pic16c84 (with some extra protection). schematics in Protel

I don't like the adapter (it seems to have some small delay) or PC keyboards, they don't detect multiple keypresses.
Better sorry than worry.
