hi guys,
i have a a500 Rev6 and the keyboard was faulty, so I replaced to a keyboard from Rev6, the problem its that the capslock begins to flash and the keyboard doesnt work. And some times it works fine. Anyone knows why? |

Hi Landex,

Keyboard isn't resetting properly. Circuitry associated with the keyboard needs a few seconds to power-down after you switch the machine off, caps to discharge etc. Red |

ThanKs Red, but I think thats not the main problem, because when it starts OK, some times I change the disks, and when I changing it the capslock start to fash again

sorry I wrote a mistake, I meant: I changed a keyboard from Rev6 to a Rev3.

Oi landex. Como estás? Bem? Então vamos atacar vosso problema! Back to English: The keyboard version don't matter. Did you put that metal braid in contact with the floppy unit? If not, you are running into problems for free. If you have some electronic skills, grab the opportunity to swap the capacitors in the keyboard PCB. They commonly dry over the years. |
