[comp.sys.amiga] A500 keyboard problem

rosenblo@qucis.queensu.CA (Arnold Rosenbloom) (11/30/90)

I have a problem with my A500 keyboard that is spreading... I was
wondering if anyone out there had a similar prob and a quick fix.

First...about 5 months ago...my tab key stopped working...
so i just typed in a lot of spaces for a while...now the 'e' key
seems to have the same problem. Is there anything easy that can be done?

Thanks in advance

Arnold

Seriously, give your keyboard a good cleaning, after removing in from the case.
Shake it out, blow it out, then use a good quality contact cleaner on it.
