Worn out switch or something else?
« on: Fri, 10 December 2010, 10:33:02 »
After using my TG3 BL82 this week, I have noticed a quirk and don't know what could be causing it. Sometimes whenever I press the "8" or "0" keys it will act like I pressed them two or the times and return a "888" or "00." I feel like this has happened at least once with a letter before too, but I couldn't replicate it...the 8's and 0's happen fairly often.

Could this be a couple of worn out switches?

I wish I had known about it when I had it torn down doing my review. I desoldered two switches then to replace broken switch stems, wouldn't have been much more of a hassle to do 2 or 3 more while I was in there.

Though, having to desolder the two pins for the switch and the two pins for the LED on every switch would have probably got a bit old.
