Hello

I plugged in my Amiga 1200 the other day, long time since I used it last.. And was quite disapointed when I noticed that my keyboard was only half working. Some of the keys, both on the numpad and  letters work and some do not. Could this issue be solved by buying a new keyboard and replacing it? Or might this be even harder to solve?


Cheers!


Get a new keyboard and it should work :) But first open up the one you use now and clean it and it might work :)

Quite right
I opened it to start cleaning the keyboard and noticed that the cable was not properly connected.. So, connected it and now it works :) thanks!

Although now  I have another problem..
When putting it all together it will not fit.. I have tried figuring out what might push agains the lid/top but just cant figure it out. Any clue? Is there a trick to putting it back together? :P


If you manually push it together do it resist? Also are you sure it was not like that before you opened it? Since it's quite common that the plastic gets a bit bent over the years.

Be sure to check that the keyboard is aligned with the gap at the center and gig it a bit and see if it works.

Tiny tiny picture, but from what I can see it looks right, strange try pushing the keyboard upwards when the case is closed.
