Yeah, real easy to do too. The 2B motherboard has solder pads for the signals (the signals are not in the same order as on the a500 mobo), older boards require you to solder to the legs of the CIA and keyboard MCU.

Cheers :) The first URL was invalid but the second one Ive bookmarked

I revised the posting behind the second URL. Seems the first link actually went to an old post of mine that I had deleted as redundant. Ah well, all the info has been copied to the sticky post now.

I was reading another post with regarding to repairing a ribbon... what do you reckon to splicing two ribbons together to give an extension and using silver conductive paint to complete the join ?

You will get an unreliable keyboard.
