A500 Keyboard Repair
« on: May 16, 2008, 09:09:23 AM »
Hi, I could prbably find the answer to this a million places on this internet, so sorry to drag it here but I'm just not good at searching :roll:
My A500's escape key wasn't working, so I opened up the keyboard and found one of the lines (forgive the terminology) connecting it has a scratch in it. Some people say I should get a soldering iron, some say I can fix it with aluminium foil.. Anyone have a definitive solution? :-)

Thanks guys, I think I'll go for one of these conductive pens, as the only replacement keyboard on ebay at the moment is $80 without shipping :-o, plus you never know when something like that could come in handy again.
It's pretty annoying having my Amiga lying in pieces because of one button, just after I cleaned the thing up and put it back together :roll: so I'll try and get one asap, thanks :lol:
