Sam keyboard rubber mat

Submitted by ellvis on Sat, 06/13/2020 - 15:18

Hi,

I just opened, cleaned, lubricated and re-assembled the keyboard on my Sam. The thing is that the rubber mat between the keys and membrane is wider then the other parts. When I fix it to the place regarding holes and close the keyboard, everything work fine except keys J (hardly working at all) and F (working bad). Due the sound of the keys I believe it is because the rubber mat is misplaced on these two keys. Is there any hint how to assemble the keyboard correctly?

I tested the membrane to be sure it is working and those two keys work the same as all others, so it shouldn't be a membrane problem.

Any tips are appreciated!

So, I somehow managed to assemble it with quite a success, it just needed a bit of patience (7th try worked well). The keyboard is working nicely again now, moving on to other Coupé's issues now... :)

Hi Dan, thank you, I just did. And I am really sorry for the mess I did during the pages creation, I will be more cautious in the future (yes, more is coming to the Sam from us)!

I am not sure how to delete the Z_Spare pages scattered around the place...
