after a bath, a Pioneer clicks no more
Hello

I got hold of a 32s that apparently suffered a beverage spill over the keyboard and then spent quite some time stored without usage. I gave it an overnight bath in distilled water, then rinsed it a few time with distilled water and IPA, baked it on an oven and then just let it lay on my desk for a couple of days, five maybe.

To my delight it works, it passes all the tests including the keyboard one. There's one wrinkle though. The keys work reliably and uniform, unfortunately they don't click, their action feels mushy. It's not a principal problem for me, I don't plan to use the calculator regularly, just for fun programming now and then. Nevertheless if there's an easy trick to restore the clicky feel then I'd like to try it.

Any experience, suggestions? Thanks in advance!
v.
