foxmulder900 #1 Posted July 11, 2020 Any tips on repairing these keys? It's the only one on the board that doesn't register, so I just de-soldered it hoping to just be able to clean up some corrosion or something. However it doesn't seem to want to come apart any further and I don't want to force it for fear of breaking it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archeocomp #2 Posted July 12, 2020 I measured resistance on non workin one and it was around 100-150Ohm. How much is yours? I then sprayed some contact cleaner in the litle holes. No change. Then I desoldered it. Suddenly it measured 0Ohm. Heat (and possibly cleaner) fixed it. I soldered it back, job done. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_The Doctor__ #3 Posted July 12, 2020 Cleaning plus heat works wonders. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder900 #4 Posted July 13, 2020 That worked! I just used some contact cleaner and was getting 0Ohm (not sure what it was before), re-soldered and all is well. Thanks a ton! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Interrupt #6 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have any of internal key white plastic actuator for an 800XL, please? I discovered my 800XL suffered from a loft shuffle! Edited July 22, 2020 by Mr Interrupt Could not see picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
