Compaq Foldable Keyboard

[gdyson]

Does anyone know where I can get my Compaq Foldable Keyboard repaired, for not too much money? I am a poor college student and I use my Ipaq/w keyboard daily. It was working fine, but now when I open it fully the last three keys on the top row, the "P" and the "[" key don't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you tried to take apart it itself? If you're lucky, it's just some simple problem, e.g., one of the wires in that area is broken because of the constant mechanic wear-and-tear. The latter can be easily seen, or, if you don't see it, just use a simple multimeter to see whether all the wires in that region actually do conduct electricity.

(I don't think it's some even more mundane problem, e.g., there is some dirt on the electrodes, because it woulnd't happen to 3 consequent keys at the same time. Must be a cut wire.)
