[comp.sys.dec.micro] Rainbow keyboard

BECK@VUVAXCOM.BITNET (11/07/88)

The keyboard (LK201AA) on my Rainbow has started behaving badly.  The
lower row generates multiple characters when echoed back.  RETURN
generates ]RETURN, CTRL by itself generates something.  Anyone have
any suggestions as to where to look for the problem?

A technician friend of mine literally soaks the whole keyboard in distilled
water for a day or two, letting it dry thoroughly before re-connecting. The
LK201 keyboard is a closed unit, and impossible to servive.
