A2000 keyboard repair
« on: March 20, 2017, 10:26:03 PM »
I just picked up an Amiga 2000 keyboard on eBay.  Testing on my 3000 found it's not working.  The A key toggles caps lock light for example and while some keys work others produce a string of garbage characters.  Any ideas where to start to attempt a fix?

Here's a quick video of the symptom started by my working 3000 keyboard.

Great news.  I opened it, nothing obvious and powered up with the top off.  Still the same.  So removed all of the screws on the back of the membrane and tested.  It worked.  I put all the screws back gently and all of the keys work, only the 2 on the number pad is iffy which is not a big deal.  I do some more tests tomorrow as I need to work on something else.
