Bruce, > If I can infer that you have a dead keyboard, would you want to part with it? I was unavoidably offline for a few days. Sorry for the delay in responding. I was going to keep the keyboard for possible spare sparts, but I'd be willing to sell it. What do you think a fair price is for it? Actually, it's not dead. At first I just had trouble with the "O" key. It would only work intermittently. Since nobody fixes keyboards (dealers just sell you a new one), I figured I'd try to fix it myself. I took it apart and used an eraser on all the contacts. Now the "O" key works fine. However, I created two other problems. 😎 First, I must have done something with the LED of the CAPS LOCK key. Sometimes it lights, even if I'm not in that mode. Now that key and the TAB key work intermittently, but all the other keys are fine. 😎 I also have a second keyboard, that has one or two keys that stick. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks. BTW, I like your signature. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

My keyboard mostly works except that, after a fall from table height, the left ALT key went flying. (Makes it real tough to do a Toaster CTL-CTL-ALT-ALT.) With only one good switch plunger (I have the keycap), it'll be as good as new. So, what's a plunger worth? Good question. Not much more than $10, I hope. ___ /__) ,_ _ _ _/__) / /__/ /_ /_-'
