Amiga 2000 keyboard problem

xlar54 · 06 August 2009, 05:21

Hey folks. On my A2000, the keys '9', 'O', 'L', and ',' do not work. Is this something fixable, or do I need to find another keyboard?

Keyboard trace or keyboard diode. On A2000 case is fixable, just need patience and some electronic knowledge.

Any ideas on where I might get schematics for the A2000 keyboard? I have electronics knowledge, but not quite sure where to start - voltages across the diodes, etc. It pains me to throw away a classic keyboard (I even took it through the de-yellowing process and it looks great).

it is indicative that those keys are in line. when you open the keyboard just follow that vertical line. it might have a crack somewhere.

I agree with Orange on this matter. Just check the traces and diodes involved, starting "backwards" (from the last non-working key following the traces/diodes).

Diodes are really easy to check for functionality.
