Gentlepeople,
I have a Philips logic analyzer (PM3585) which is about 20 years old at this point. It
seems to be basically functional except for the keyboard, which unfortunately is a
critical part.
This is one of those molded rubber type, with a circuit board behind the rubber that has
contact areas made of carbon film (at least they are black in color) and on the back of
each key a small cylindrical bump also coated with carbon. Some of the buttons work but
most don't seem to even if I press hard.
I've disassembled the keyboard, which was easy enough. Inspection shows no damage and
no signs of corrosion or contamination. I wiped everything with isopropyl alcohol anyway.
The result is no change in behavior.
Any suggestions for what to do next?
