Re: 116 Keyboard Repair

IF I remember well we used to glue tin foil to non responsive keys.

Re: 116 Keyboard Repair

Very interesting video, thanks Rob.

Both of my Plus/4s had problems with the carbon wearing off the rubber pads under the keys, so that fix definitely has applications beyond the C116.

116 Keyboard Repair

If you have a Commodore 116 with a broken or intermittently working keyboard, I've just put up a video on youtube showing how to successfully take apart, renovate and reassemble it.

Unlike most other Commodore 8-bit keyboards, it's not easy to take apart as it's not held together with screws, it uses plastic pins which can only be destructively removed. Using a drill-press though, you can remove them and then drill out holes to take small pan head screws to replace them. This video shows how to do this, as well as cleaning and repairing the keyboard membrane with conductive, carbonised rubber paint.

If there's the interest, I will consider offering this as a service, so please get in touch if you're interested, or indeed if you have other questions.
