Do you eat your keycap soup with a spoon or chopsticks? #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

All I managed to do was make it a whole lot worse. Now most of the keys don't work.😔 #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Well, it's not completely dead. Though I had a heart attack that I killed the 5150 because the screen was all white before realizing I knocked the CGA cable loose. With the bare PCB connected there's no keys stuck and I can type by poking the pads with my finger. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Another complete disassembly and re-assembly and no stuck keys, all the keys I tested work, and the spacebar doesn't jam in place. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

@thomasfuchs And that stupid wire for the space bar being on the INSIDE makes it so much worse!
