Last night I heard this bang! bang! bang! and find out my son dropped the
IIGS keyboard on the floor. Repeatedly. Everything is fine except the
capslock key - which is now just a caps key with no lock.
I guess the mouse fell off with the keyboard the first time and he didn't
think to pick up both items and the mouse kept dragging the keyboard off
the desk. He didn't think of calling for help, either.
Can this be fixed? I popped off a few keys, but I think the locking
mechanism is internal to the key switch - and I suspect it needs to be
replaced. Does anyone have an idea what type of switch is used?
Thanks!
