Problem with the spacebar in a Dragon 64.

Post by dragonmarce »

Hello everyone.
I have a Dragon by Tano about 3 years ago. It works perfectly. But the spacebar I have to push harder to answer.

What is the best way to fix this problem ?. Simply lift the key and change a spring ?. Or I need to open the machine ?. I have no experience with this machine and never opened it.

Thank you very much.

Greetings to all.

Marcelo.

I have no experience myself taking the keyboard apart but you might find this part of Stig's video particularly interesting: https://youtu.be/n-X6tqoY9EA?t=271 Also see Jays' comment about removing and cleaning keys switches. Very nice video!

Yes. It is perfect. Furthermore, it is very detailed.
I will try to do the same for my Dragon spacebar.

Thanks again Tormod.
