Hi,

I would really need some help troubleshooting an Amiga 600 where the keyboard stopped working (after being stored for a while).

The machine has been recapped some 2-3 years ago and back then the keyboard worked just fine.

What I have done is the following:
- Tested the keyboard in another 600 where it works fine (ribbon cable is in other words ok).
- Measured for continuity from all the traces leading up to the white keyboard connector.
- Reflowed the solder on the keyboard controller and connector in case of a micro crack.

The keyboard is completely dead. Caps lock does not even lit up when I press the button.

Thanks!!
