Many of our favourite retro computers from the 1980s are now beginning to fail due to one major component - the keyboard. Invariably one or two keys will fail to respond as soon as you press them (or don't respond at all). Problems such as this are normally caused by a fault in the keyboard membrane which contains a switching mechanism for each key. Normally, part of the conductive layer wears away or cracks and certain keys will no longer work.

The Enterprise 64 and Enterprise 128 Home Computers are no different - it also suffers with ageing keyboard membranes. Replacement is a fairly simple procedure, and most people armed with a Phillips screwdriver can do this in a few minutes. However, the problem is that there are no longer any keyboard membranes available.

Following some discussions on the Enterprise 128 Forever forums, and thanks to one of their members lending us a keyboard, we are pleased to say that we have been able to obtain a short production run of replacement keyboard membranes for the Enterprise 64/128 Home Computer and these are now available to purchase through SellMyRetro.com - the trading site for retro computer enthusiasts.

Cost is just £25 plus post and packing.
