seems i've killed my a1200 keyboard membrane (after having it for less than a month :()
I've ordered a USB thing to use instead but does anyone know which row i've killed...
QWERTY -> ENTER are all dead.
No obvious break on the keyboard membrane.

Just cut squarely 1mm off the bottom of the Membrane connector , I`ve done it a few times it does work , just do not cut off more than 1mm at time. those membrane connectors are as shite as they come, just breath on them and the strip connectors disappear ! :)

Man that`s a bummer, but it`s rarely that a track is burnt and it will look obvious around the keyboard connector, I`d still bet its a dodgy membrane

Re: I appear to have killed my A1200 keyboard
Did you kill it or did it kill itself? If you got one and it died within two weeks the seller should send you a new one. Unless you did something to it, of course.
A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

Re: I appear to have killed my A1200 keyboard
I got quite a lot of membranes from this seller. Amiga 500,ZX81, ZX spectrum +, and quite few were faulty.utri007 wrote: 26 Jan 2020 22:00 You can get new membarane here : https://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/detai ... a%29-22779
Seller was great, and did replace them.
I think quality is not that great, but this is understandable for low production numbers.
Do not trust people. They are capable of greatness.
