hp 80 keys don't respond well Message #1 Posted by Irfan on 17 Aug 2003, 8:31 p.m. I have hp-80 and some of the keys on top row (FV, PMT) don't respond. Every now and then these key function but mostly don't. What would be best way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any tips. - Irfan

That should get you started. In addition, I have found that using a plain strip of paper (instead of sandpaper) to clean very bad key contacts can be a valid alternative. It's potential for damage might be less than the sandpapaer's. Cheers, Victor
