How to repair a stretched coiled cable?
« on: Tue, 25 January 2011, 04:58:29 »
A while ago I found a tutorial on repairing a stretched coiled model M keyboard cable. I know it involved a hairdryer :) Anyway, I've been looking for it several times but failed to find it. Anyone have the link?

Thanks,
SainT

The Keyboard Links wiki is your friend. :)

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D
