Re: IIe Keyboard

		REPLACING A KEYSWITCH ON IIE KEYBOARD! 


	Just mail me the keyboard, tell me which key is bad, and I will
replace the keyswitch!   I have several junked IIe keyboards here from
which to salvage the replacement keys.

	Cost:  Just $3. for priority mail return, plus $0.25 per replaced
switch.

	(IIgs users ---- sorry, I have no junked IIgs keyboards from which
to take switches) ---- this offer if for IIe users only.

	I could also extend this offer to IIC keyboards because I have two
junked IIc keyboards here.

:      There _may_ be a fix your tools can handle. If the KB Encoder IC or 
: the IOU IC is loose or has pins making poor contact, you could get the 
: symptoms described.

:      Open the case and locate the KB Encoder (a big, 40-pin IC on the 
: right side of the motherboard just to the right of three ROMs). Use a 
: small, thin-blade screwdriver to scootch up the IC. (You want to get some 
: lifting for all pins, even if you end up just removing the IC.) Press the 
: IC back into the socket.

:      Do the same with the IOU (a big, 40-pin IC just to the left of the 
: three ROMs).

:      The idea of lifting up and re-socketing each IC is to let the socket 
: contacts scrape a fresh connection with each pin on the IC.
