I have a big pile of broken ZX Spectrums from my friend Paul URB. All of these appear to have been worked on in the past and are broken. Here is the first of this set of repairs and this one is quite interesting in a few ways, not least the case modification that someone did to this in the past!

![Fixing Commodore Keyboards with a Workpro Screwdriver
WORKPRO Screwdriver Set:
https://amzn.to/46AKLph (Affiliate)
In this episode of More Fun Fixing It, we dive into the meticulous process of restoring Commodore 64 keyboards. Dealing with a batch of six keyboards spawned from five restored cases, I test each one to identify non-responsive keys and common issues like flaky space bars and sticky home keys.
Watch as I demonstrate a full teardown, including the removal of the shift lock wires and those tiny brass screws that are the bane of every restorers life. This project also serves as the perfect field test for the WorkPro 3.7V electric precision screwdriver, which helps speed up the tedious process of removing dozens of fasteners.
Key highlights include:
- A destructive experiment to prove that C64 rubber pads are graphite-impregnated all the way through, meaning they can be safely cleaned with abrasives like sandpaper.
- cleaning gold contact PCBs using isopropyl alcohol and nano sponges.
- Tips on checking solder joints and reassembling the keyboard.
