A busy week for the Amigan!
Greetings,
Well, Since I got back, I finally was able to write my blog again after weeks of absence. Reason is I was busy doing a little library work. As in lots of books I had to code into database so I can easily find most of the reference.
Now that's over, I had a little bad experience with my ever faithful Amiga1200 at home during those days. The problem was its keybaord. the Backspace does not work, no matter how hard I try to press it. Nothing happens. Also other keys like letters 'Z' to '/'. Pretty weird. So I get all my cleaning stuff, like a cotton rag, a canister of Contact cleaner and some alchohol, Yes, rubbing alchohol. I disassembled the top over and carefully remove the cable where it's fasten to the board. Soon As I loosen it, I also removed the plastic lock that holds the thin cable at the socket. As it was removed, there were several metal exposed. So I clean those metal and also wipe with a rag drentched with a little rubbing alchohol to dapen it a bit. As soon as it's clean, finally put it back and tested the keyboard to see if what I think it is, is just dirt problems. As soon as the Amiga was up. I tested the keyboard on the shell window to see all the said keys would work again. To my relief, it works again!
Well see you later again!
