HP 15C: Any cure for an HP 15C with "snappy" keys? Message #1 Posted by Jeff on 3 Sept 2001, 8:09 p.m. I recently bought a "mint" condition HP 15C on Ebay. It is in perfect condition, all except three keys that make a "snapping" sound after you release them. They have a good tactile feel and work okay, just the snapping noise. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix it, or is there anyone who works on older HPs. Thanks

Message #2 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. on 3 Sept 2001, 10:10 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jeff I have both 15C and 16C, bought as new at the time they were bought as new, and I remember one or two keys (ENTER and STO, if I am not wrong) at the 15C's keyboard used to snap, too. After a few monthes of use, that snappy sound disappeared. If you do not sense any different resistance to the movement of the keys when pressed, you should not worry about it. I wouldn't.

I purchased a new 16C ten years ago and noticed the same thing with the 'ON', 'DEC' '4' and '5' keys. I then put it in storage but pulled it out recently when I saw one go for a lot more than what I payed for it. Does anyone know how it might affect resell value ? Thanks for any help/advice. Jim
