Interestingly, it shows a Vesatec V80. Exactly the
same thing has
happened to the platten roller in my V80 :-(, so
sometime I am going to
have to work out how to repair that,,,

dirty keyboards (under the keys),
Is this a real problem? I generally pull all the
keycaps (and clean those
with Maplin foam cleaner), then if possible take t rest of the keyboard
apart and clean all the bits spearately. Yes, it's
time-consuming (takes
an afternoon to do a keyboard), but it doesn't
involve making/obtaining
special parts, etc.
How easy is it to take the plastic (?) keys
off of a keyboard without damaging either
the keys or the contacts underneath?
I assume, if they are taken off without
damage to them, they would simple clip back on?
I have never taken a keyboard apart yet, and
will no doubt need to someday. I probably won't
bother until a keyboard, or keys, starts failing.
