[comp.sys.ibm.pc] I need keys to the IBM PS/2 Keyboard

mzaik@baloo.eng.ohio-state.edu ( ) (03/02/90)

I have an IBM PS/2 model 30.  The keyboard has three keys broken and
I desperately need to get a replacement for them.  The only solution
I know is to buy a new keyboard.  Does anybody know of a place where
I can get these keys replaced.  

Any reply is appreciated.

If you're talking about replacing the switches themselves -- good
luck!  As far as I can tell (a view shared by our in-house systems
repair group) the guts to these are sealed units.  When they break,
IBM replaces and shreads them.

Replacement price from IBM is about $240.00 each (educational
institutions get a 30% discount).  That is, that's what they were in
January.  Good luck.
