Keywords: malfunction keyboard repair


I have a PC XT, with a 5150 type keyboard.  The keyboard is malfunctioning.
The <esc> key works maybe once every 10th strike and other keys such as
the <o> key double strike (produce two o's for one strike of the key).
Has netland had experience in getting keyboards repaired?  The questions
that come to mind are: Can this type of malfunction be repaired?  If
I knew which chip(s) were malfunctioning, could I fix it myself?  Is
it cheaper to buy a new keyboard?

Send replys to me and I'll summarize the responses.

Thanks.
