I appear to have killed my A1200 keyboard

Post by terriblefire »

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

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.

My lack of focus:
[ 8 * A500 ][ 2 * A500+ ][ 2 * A600 ][ 2 * A1200 ][ 2 * A2000 w/ A2386 ][ A4000 w/ TF4060, CyberVision 64 3D, FastLane SCSI Z3 ][ CD32 ][ VIC-20 ][ 4 * C64 Breadbin ][ 5 * C64C ][ 2 * C128 ][ C128D ][ C64 DTV ][ 3 * Mac Classics of different types ]

I probably yanked it in the lab... and it was a freebie from the seller.. so its on me.

I got quite a lot of membranes from this seller. Amiga 500,ZX81, ZX spectrum +, and quite few were faulty.
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.
