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!

What Kickstart are you using?  You and I might have the same problem, and now that I see others writing that the A600 keyboard has no internal components, other than switches and that all interpretation is done from the keyboard chip on the motherboard (perhaps this is how all Amiga keyboards are), I begin to wonder how this problem can be fixed, without having to replace the entire motherboard?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
