It's a new keyboard. Tried it with and without my turbo card. Most of the keys work, just not a few on the left hand side of the keyboard.

I did make sure the ribbon is properly seated, and I also used compressed air!


I've seen and had the same problem on a number of A1200s and no matter how much I was convinced that the connection was ok, it always turned out it wasn't.

Simplest way to check is, take the top of the A1200 and while typing in a shell squeeze the white plastic connector gently, or gently move the ribbon cable and 9 times out of 10 your keyboard will work. It sometimes takes a small piece of thin card jammed into the connector slot to force a good connection even with a new keyboard.

Hope this helps... :)
