- first my VCR, then my sewing machine, now my computer...it's that time of
- the year where all the things that needs pluged in doesn't work..don't you
- hate that!! and going to dealers to fix these things can mean empty wallet..
- you get a little ahead in life...and this shit starts to happen..
-
- Well lets see if am able to get my questions across and can get help
- from any of you...
-
- KEYBOARDS!! am i just hard on them or does amiga make crappy keyboads?
- First keyboard the keys were shot...no hope... so i got a used one from a
- friend which she never used, it was working nicely for about 6 months..
- now all the sudden- nothing...unless i pull the cord on the back of the
- keyboard upward. it's like it has a short in the wire... now, i try to be
- careful putting up my keyboard when done..but jeeze.. now, can i get it
- fixed or are they going to tell me- "sorry ...$100.00 for new one is what
- you need" ..we are such a throwaway society. i'm using the keyboard now
- but it will stop once and awhile and make me have to play with the cord
- in the back..
-
- NOW, something else happened at the same time the keyboard started acting
- up.. (by the way i have a amiga 2000hd) when turning it on, right before
- it brings up the icons, it says... BATTERY BACKED UP CLOCK NOT FOUND (it
- also says something about cli2) now at first i thought that had something
- to do with my keyboard,
- nothing would happen when i typed..but after playing with the cord it
- looks as if it's a short... sorry, i'm rambling... the questions are
- these.. 1) can keyboards be fixed, as in new cords but in?
-
- 2) what does that mean when the screen reads-BATTERY BACKED
- UP CLOCK NOT FOUND? Do i need this battery? can i get one, bring home and
- pop it right in? or does it need welded on?? and whats a fair price to
- pay for this??
-
- thank you for you time... please email at callas@pgh.nauticom.net
