Mapping HP-15C LE faulty keys
Message #1 Posted by Reth on 3 Oct 2011, 10:23 p.m.

I'm curious if faulty keys are related to their position in relation to the heat stakes. Please indicate which key/s are faulty.

Mine has faulty [.] key

[x] - Seems to have gotten much better with time and some contact cleaner.

Hi Marcus,

Could you explain how to use the contact cleaner? The only way is then to open the unit?

Thanks Miguel

I just pushed the key top a bit down and sprayed a tiny amount of cleaner in the gap. Then I agitated the key repeatedly for some time.

If you look back at the older threads about the keyboards most people listed what key was bad, if they had a bad one.
