Steve, I've had success with disassembling the keyboard and cleaning the
contacts with a contact cleaner (looks like a big white eraser, used to clean
electrical contacts....probably could use a SOFT eraser to get same results).
Pop all keys off, check the mylar sheets (sometimes there are damaged
runs....don't know of a way to fix those) and clean the "half-moon" shaped
contacts on either side of each keycap post. It is important to ensure that
all the "dust" is off the sheets ( I wash them in isopropyl alcohol to make
sure) and then reassemble. I've fixed about 15 kbds or so doing this.
Let me know how it fares if you try it.
Andy
