I received the keyswitch. Below I said "If simply washing and deoxit doesn't make it work, then..." And indeed that's all it was. I included "washing" because we don't know the condition of the machine, and past spilled drinks are common, and that requires water to dissolve sugar. As it turne

Well, I do want to fix my keyboard so that it works 100 per cent. I will probably take you up on your very generous offer. On Thu, 21 Mar 2024 at 03:58, Brian K. White wrote: > If you can't tease the switch apart to clean up the inside, I can send > you one. > I got a set of 5 from ebay a couple

If you can't tease the switch apart to clean up the inside, I can send you one. I got a set of 5 from ebay a couple years ago but only used one. There is a guy selling them right now too, but only in sets of 20 for $40 https://ebay.com/itm/196074860932 Actually, if you send me your bad switch I

I should have watched your video before I shot my mouth off; now I see that the 102's keyswitches are different that the 100's. Where can I get the keycap tool? On Wed, 20 Mar 2024 at 00:26, Brian K. White wrote: > I had to search to find: > "There is exactly one key on my m100's keyboard that r

I had to search to find: "There is exactly one key on my m100's keyboard that rufuses to work, the K key." What was anyone supposed to do with that? What I said below and the video wouldn't help with a 100. It only applies to a 102. 100 has a totally different kind of keyswitch, and no simi

It would have been nice if you guys had helped me out with this when I recently posted that my "K" key had inexplicably quit. I swapped the keycap out with the ESC key because that is rarely used; I didn't think of the extra shift key. Long story short, I overestimated my abilities and thought I ha

102 has carbon impregnated silicone rubber domes like calculator or remote buttons. With care it's possible to lift the top of the key switch body off and lift out the rubber dome, and see if the contacts or button are dirty. Maybe use some deoxit with a q-tip to clean the contacts, maybe clean th

Using a continuity tester you can test it in-circuit to see if it's the switch or not. If it's the switch, desolder and replace. If it's not the switch, it's a trace. On Sun, Mar 17, 2024 at 10:48 PM Ronald Hudson wrote: > Hi Everyone-- > > > My 102 has a failed "," key - all the other keys seem
