I don't have my A1000 any more, but from memory... Before you try unsoldering the key try this: Pull off the keycap of the offending key. Put a drop of lubricant on the sides of the white plastic shaft that moves up and down and see if that doesn't free the key. I've done that successfully on a couple of keys on my board. The lubricant I used was BreakFree, a Teflon based oil. A similar product is called TriFlo if you can't find BreakFree. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3
