Sometimes Facebook friends can be quite helpful and generous
Anyone
know if/where I can get a reasonably priced replacement keyboard for No2
computer - the space bar only responds if I thump it really hard and it's
really really aggravating?
Alternatively - how do I clean the damn thing to stop the space bar from
sticking?

Mum might have a spare if little brother hasn't
decided it's his

What annoys me is we took a couple to Acorn
Recycling because we didn't think we'd need them :(
Mr Melodeon
We have a spare you can have. Also a Dell monitor.
Bentonbag
Thanks - will
swap for jam or chutney?
Mr Melodeon
There's no charge - only if you have a little to
spare.
Bentonbag
Mr Melodeon, come to the garage with me - we have a LOT to spare ...
Mr Melodeon
I can come around on Thursday morning to drop it in.
Do you want the monitor too? It has a dodgy on / off button by otherwise is
ok.
Bentonbag
We're fine for monitors thanks - that would be great
- see you Thursday
Mr Melodeon
Ok. By the way the keyboard is brand new & so
has no detritus probs.
Mr Gobiron
There is a time to play "Working keyboard or
bust". Some keyboards can be
improved by aggravated dunking in a bucket of vaguely soapy water. After a suitable drying period, you will find
out whether it's improved or dead.
Similar
techniques include
1) turning it upside down and beating it viciously against a
table (at least you'll get the crumbs out) or
2) a squirt of wd40
The solutions suggested by Mr Gobiron are not ones I have ever tried or would endorse.
If
you dear reader are rash enough to try them, on your own head be it.
