keyboard woes
« on: Tue, 30 September 2014, 19:24:31 »
Was playing a game today on my keyboard and my "see" as in the letter stopped working.  Sadly this is on my daily driver.  photo below for model due to typing not working so great without all of the letters.





going to be forced into finding a replacement switch and soldering. :(

A stash of blue Montereys would be very nice to have, if that is what your keyboard uses.

I would be interested in buying a few if anybody parted out a Monterey board.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

I've been looking for one to do just that, so keep your eyes open

There must be at least one key you can live without, e.g. scroll lock or one of the function keys. You could swap the switches across.

Assuming the fault is with the switch (and not a bad solder joint or controller failure) you could try opening the affected switch and see if you can correct the fault, but as a note, they're hard to open and even harder to reassemble.
