Need help cleaning a MEGA ST keyboard


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm new here & also new to the world of Atari ST :)

 

I got my hands on a MEGA-1 which had some sticky liquid spilled all over the keyboard by the previous owner.

The result is stuck/sticky keys.

 

I opened the keyboard & removed all PCB screws & also all keys from the keyboard top.

It looks like there's a separate switch for each key, but I cant remove the PCB in order to get to them!

 

Any advice before I (possibly) do damage by experimenting?

I just refuse to believe this keyboard was built in a way that requires to desolder all switches to remove the PCB :?

 

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the late reply. Usually you can pop off the PCB after you unscrewed all tiny screws - about a gazillion or so. :)

 

Cheers,
