blakespot Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have an Atari 800XL PAL unit with Supervideo XL mod that I paid a good bit for from Germany. The keyboard in it had a stuck key. I confirmed it was mechanical. Air did not help so I took the membrane loose. Apparently a mistake. Replacing after cleaning, only the function keys work. Reseated cable repeatedly. I was going to buy another unit on eBay and take the keyboard, but they are too expensive, so I will not be watching scene demos on this but shelving it, it seems. I can't afford a new one. (Someone is currently selling a PIECE OF FOAM from the box of a 600XL for $32....) Before I close the door on my A8 experience for probably a decade, I wanted to see if anyone had a spare keyboard for the unit that I could buy for a fairly low price. Probably not, but I wanted to take one more chance before I put this broken system away. Thanks. :-/ bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Did you look at http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/New%20XL%20Keyboard%20Mylar.htm There are also some instructions online on repairing Keyboard mylars with conductive paint. It might be just a few broken traces on the mylar. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA128k Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm taking trade/buy offers on a 600XL with working keyboard in the Marketplace if you want to take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
