A600 Keyboard Acting Strange...
« on: January 02, 2011, 03:07:42 AM »
So I fired up my A600 to install my new 030. All went fine and well, but I've noticed that when I'm typing, the Amiga seems to think that I want to type out a ";" every other word.

I have removed and replaced the Ribbon Cable but still have this issue. Should I take a part the keyboard and try to clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol?

Also, is there a place to order cheap replacement keyboards?

Thankx!

Well I cut a sliver off the end of the ribbon, and now nothing works. Guess that was one Ebay deal gone bad. Time to look for another. :)

I tried that earlier, but the wrong side came un-done...

...in other words the side with the contacts would not peel back.

A lot of things seem to work for everyone but me, such as that "my mother's dying" story. ;)
