HP 97 Keyboard issue

[jftman]

I found something at the last moment before quiting with trying to get the ENTIRE right side keyboard to respond.

I put finger pressure between tge function key and the roll down key and everything works!
If I move it a bit higher or lower it stops responding..
When I was futzing around removing a screw here and there to remove the keyboard PCB I did remove the center screw below the display circuitry.
I remember not snugging it down for fear of cracking the board.

I surmised that this screw being a central screw might dish the whole thing if too tight.
I now must experiment with it, and the rest of any pressire points that make it work.

Right now neither the 7 under tge cover or 6 in the cover are in.
But center pressure makes the keyboard come back to life! Yessssss.
