Quoth Paul Koning (i think), regarding LK401 some weeks back:
Then again, if it's a stuck key or something like
that, the keyboard
is beyond repair. LK201 keyboards are cheesy low quality membrane
switches that cannot be disassembled or cleaned or repaired. If
moisture ever gets in them, your only option is to scrap the board. I
found this out the hard way.
Does the same apply to LK401 keyboards? I have one with a
non-functioning key (try resetting passwords on VMS when you can't get
a 'Z'....), and the melted-post construction seems the same. Am I best
just looking for a replacement and if so, anyone in the UK got a spare
I can make an offer for? Be nice to the moderators and contact me
off-list :)
Cheers,
Pete
