A2000 keyboard repair
« on: April 07, 2010, 06:19:29 PM »
Okay, I've gotten my A2000 set up the way I want it and just got in a new keyboard only to discover the keyboard's big Enter key is non-functional.  I have another keyboard that could be a donor, but before I grab my screwdriver, was wondering, how easily are the switches traded out?  I'm also fairly proficient with a soldering iron, if need be.

Would greatly appreciate comments and suggestions.

No need to solder anything..

Just open it up, clean all the dust off the circuit board, then take a piece of paper and wipe the rubber cushion under the enter key until it is no longer shiny. It's a good idea to fold the paper a couple of times so that there aren't any sharp edges.

Reassemble with a few screws so you can test it, if it works, do up the rest of the screws.
