Atari 520STE Space Bar problem


subspace

Recommended Posts

Hi in a fit of nostalgia I recently bought an Atari 520STE and it has a few problems I was hoping someone could help me with.

 

The first is the spare bar doesn't feel right, it is flopping around. I think it is missing some parts. Can someone look at the photo and tell me what is missing. Also how does the metal clip attach to the space bar key?

 

The second is the floppy doesn't slide out of the drive when the eject button is pressed. I have to grab it with my fingernails to pull it out.

 

Aside from that I got it to run some games so its not all bad.

 

Thanks James.

there should be 2 plastic clips (arrows pointing) that will hold metal rod.

 

Also if any button does not come up once you press it then rubber cup is busted inside keyboard.

 

For your floppy drive problem sounds like mechanical problem. Hard to answer without taking it apart.

 

when my floppy quit working i replaced it with Gotek. Got one cheap from China and flashed with HxC.
