Re: Key not working...

I just set up one of my Apple IIe's, and in probably its first session
of extensive use in 20 years I noticed the T key doesn't work. It
doesn't seem to be jammed or anything... every other key on the
keyboard is fine. What should I do?

First, try pressing the key firmly but gently ;-) about 200 times,
while slightly altering the push "axis" away from perpendicular
in various directions.

You'd be amazed how often that cleans the switch contacts and
restores function, even without any other "cleaner".
