Over a year ago, I found an Amiga 1000 in someone's curbside trash. Upon getting it home, I discovered that the disk drive was broken. I've replaced the disk drive just recently, and I've been able to get it to boot up just fine now.
There's only one problem- upon reaching the Workbench for the first time, I discovered that the keyboard was broken. Several keys were not responding, so I decided to open it up. Simply put, it's impossible to fix; the switches are all embedded in this giant, useless piece of metal and there's no way to reach the contacts without desoldering every switch from the underlying circuit board. To make matters worse, I also managed to break said underlying circuit board when I was looking for a way to get that metal frame off. Yeah, I'm an idiot.
The next thing I tried was hooking up a keyboard from a dead Amiga 500 I had. (For the curious, this is the same machine where I got the replacement disk drive from.) I could've sworn the keyboard worked, but when I tried to hook it into the 1000 (making sure to get the 5V, CLK, DATA and GND wires right) nothing happened.
Has anyone gotten an A500 keyboard to work with an A1000? If not, where (besides eBay) can I get a replacement keyboard? Are keyboards from the Amiga 2000/3000/4000 (should I find one) guaranteed to work if I hook them up properly?
