Hi there,
Only the keys 6ERUIFGJKLVB work on my Vic-20. I have taken it apart and cleaned all the keys (and retrobrited the case but I don' think that matters ). I have no idea why those keys work and why the others don't, so I was wondering if you could help.
Any replies are greatly appreciated,
Eddie

Re: Some keys not working on VIC-20
Seems like the 6522 responsible for scanning the keyboard is faulty. As mrr19121970 suggested, try swapping the two units you can find inside a VIC-20.EddiesTech wrote:Hi there,
