Hi Daryl!
DS> Or like the sequence from "Three Men And A Baby"...where the
DS> little girl pooped in her diaper. One man says "She did a doodle.
DS> It's your turn to change her"...and the other guy replies "I'll
DS> give you a thousand bucks if you'll do it". <G>
Cheap at twice the price!
BM> It's only 54 here currently!! Unusually cool for the beginning of
BM> Augus. Will be in the low 80's this afternoon; weatherman said the average
BM> for the date is 84.
DS> Well, we are on the downside to winter, and meteorological fall
DS> starts September 1.
Did warm up in the afternoon but not bad: only 81°; by evening cooled to
the the mid-70s and opened the windows -- helped was breezy. Next
Monday and Tuesday won't do that as the feels-like temperature forecast
to be in the low 100's. ...Anyone from the desert areas is going "so?"
-- here it's humid and the perspiration doesn't evaoporate.
BM> You spelt it correctly, though doesn't use a hyphen (though two words).
BM> There were two heat sinks inside, one on each IC which probably control the
BM> data movement.
DS> You risk burning your hands or a item fire without those.
I'm thinking more the device would fail before then.
DS> ... Doesanyoneknowhowmuchitcoststogetaspacebarrepaired??
BM> Probably a lot more than the cost of a replacement keyboard!
DS> The Society Of Prevention Of Cruelty To Keyboards has a warrant
DS> out for my arrest. <G>
Pfft! If the Society even find out what I did! A couple/few weeks ago I
had accidentally snapped off one of the folding keyboard legs to the
keyboard on this computer (got caught on the mousepad) so swapped out
with another keyboard I had in stock. The keyboard with the broken leg
has been kept and used with a Raspberry Pi project.
So back to the replacement keyboard. Cheap feel, some of the keys
wobble. I've no idea where it came from but probably a freebie add-on
when I had purchased a replenished computer some time back.
Occasionally had issues with whatever I was working on doing weird
things like the document window getting larger/smaller, etc. Turned out
the left CTRL key was getting stuck, so the weirdness was due to
CTRL_<key> commands. Took the back off the keyboard; key 'springs' were
little greenish mushroom-looking things about 1/8th inch -- no wonder the
keys wobbled and had a bad feel! Wiggled where the USB cord was
soldered to the p.c. board; board to electronics recycle, USB cord to
the little box where I keep the others. Occasionally find the 5v power
is handy, haven't done anything with the data leads yet.
