Marsupilami Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) I managed to replace the ribbon on the original keyboard, which had been bent and torn for 40 years. I used @Overange's original (and awesome) idea, but put its connectors on both sides: On the keyboard and on motherboard sides. I had to dremel the metal support on the keyboard, but the dimensions are perfect The connectors are here : and here : Edited June 1 by Marsupilami 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great idea and a novel way to fix a broken 800XL keyboard ribbon. Better tell @Ray Gillman from his post on 28 December 2023! Does it clear the 800XL screening metal without issues? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
