One approach, though not guaranteed to work, is to get a drop or two of DeOxit (Red) contact cleaner under the affected keys. When you cannot access keys from the inside, I use a wet brush to scrape along the bottom edge, thus collecting some DeOxit on the bottom lip, then hold the machine inverted at angles to get the liquid to drip to the center, all the while working the key. Depending on the actual cause of the problem, this may not help, but if the issue is any form of corrosion or dirt between the key and the contact dome, this likely will eliminate the issue, but in any case will not hurt. It's an easy and non-invasive technique worth trying before resorting to disassembly, etc. --Bob Prosperi |
