A1000 keyboard repair
« on: November 15, 2012, 11:26:34 PM »
Hi all,

Does anyone know where I could get an Amiga 1000 keyboard repaired near Melbourne, Aus?

Seems like the contacts have gone on several keys. I have no clue on fixing hardware stuff.

:-(

Yeah, that's what I did too. Looking at it I thought if I undid even one of those internal screws, it would be all over. Hopefully, someone can sort these out though. Finding a new working keyboard doesn't seem to be very easy.

@ChaosLord

The pic put up by Jope is what my keyboard looks like inside (dust and all, it's uncanny ;-), though the dust has been blown out now). I guess things are not looking that great for getting a new keyboard or a fix :-(. I bought an RJ-11 cable and haven't tried it yet, just in case it is the cable. I doubt it though, since the connection is serial and only specific keys seem affected. Now it looks from subsequent posts like RJ-11 was not correct. Should I not try it at all??? Will I cause problems if I do?
