Can Capacitors on A1200 affect Keyboard functionality?
A bit of a strange problem here....
I finally got round to changing the Caps on my A1200 as I thought after 20odd years they're about due. Changed them like for like, apart from some being higher voltage tolerance, and now the keyboard doesn't work properly! Some keys refuse to work. My first thought was worn keyboard connector so it tried one from another A1200, same problem.... I can't understand why the Caps would affect the keyboard.  Any thoughts ladies&gents? |

Probably a solder blob or bridge somewhere. I would do a full board inspection with magnification... bummer!

Both keyboard connections were worn. I trimmed a millimetre off each ribbon and now working fine. Just coincidence that both keyboards had the same problem. Phew! Didn't want to have to buy another A1200, especially the prices they're selling for now! Greedy E-bay sellers

Coincidence is the natural enemy of troubleshooting!
