Paul Westphal Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 My latest build is a 600xl with a new motherboard. Everything is fine but the shift keys either stick or don't work- intermittenly. I have taken the keyboard out several times and plugged it back in to no avail. All other keys work fine. Brad at best said something about a resistor...any thoughts are appreciated. By the way, the video sucks on these things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravard Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hey Paul. It's Chuck. I hope you get that puppy running as I really want a 600XL. And the s-video update would note be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Will do. svideo parts are ordered. I'll figure the keyboard out, and have another one coming just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Brad at Best sent me another motherboard ( Chelco ), so the video problem has been fixed, but the SHAFT! key still acting up though. Too bad I had to spend another 9 bucks to ship the old one back. This 600xl is costing too much to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Fixed the kb problem and put 64k chips in it. A shift spring had strayed out of the assembly. S- video and possibly stereo next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 My gaming mule 600xl had a similar problem with the Esc key. I took the keyboard apart and reinstalled the screws from center outwards in both directions. The black plastic piece tends to warp and make contact where it shouldn't. Recently did 64k mod to this one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
