ScuzzBlog: Diaries September 2025 Entry 9th September 2025: Post 1: Amiga 600 - I found my p. Amiga 600 - I found my p. OK I know I'm a bit ahead of myself. Just imagine that it's 9th September... I'm one day ahead. What ever !! My blog from yesterday ( or the day before yesterday ) was cut a little short as I got quite troubled by losing letters from the keyboard. Turns out half the keys were not working. Time to refresh a few basic rules about retro.. keyboards. 01: Don't panic. Stop and retrace your steps. The slightest detail could mean a simple thing can be rectified without ripping half the computer apart. 02: In respect of keyboards if more than one key has gone AWOL then it'll be the ribbon. 03: If one or two keys become problematic then it's either the keys or the membrane. 04: It will not be an electrical component or capacitor... Listen to me it's not a capacitor. 05: Never cut the end of the ribbon. Like ever. In doing so you just reduced the life of the keyboard and the problem will come back. Or worse just f*up the ribbon. Don't do it. 06: Be very very very very very very careful taking the A600 apart. Don't forget the connector at the front. That all said I reseated the ribbon and all was fine. What had happened... Earlier this year I was twiddling with the hard drive cus it had locked up again. I had stood it on its end and had been hitting it with a blunt tool. To no avail. In doing so I had obviously dislodged the ribbon. Anyhoo all the keys are working and I can conclude the blog from yesterday showing how you can clean up the icons on the screen. I then went on to show how I used AI to 3D animate a SpeceX rocket landing in my garden pool and display using DPaintXIV from 2029. But that's in the future. To do that I have to change the lightbulb. ... sod it my cuppa has gone cold. That's your fault. Amiga 600 - I found my p.
