FWD: Help with my Sharp OZ-7000
Mark W. McBride, president, SPCS, Inc.
here might be able to suggest a solution. Seems to be a common problem -
had it with my tv remote control where (I think) the conductive rubber
died over time from oxidation or something. Maybe y'all can help him out
with a solution. Best, Mac

Did you hear the news? On 9 Dec 1995 11:28:48 -0700, our ether buddy
bsc...@nyx10.cs.du.edu (Ben Scott) spaketh thusly:
:)I have a Sharp Wizard OZ-7000 and the keyboard seems to be deteriorating
:)rapidly. It's over two years old and was purchased as a factory refurb from
:)Damark... still, it's been reliable up until now. It started with the "="
:)button in the lower right of the keyboard, and is spreading to the entire
:)right side and gradually leftwards as well. The buttons appear to stop
:)working; pressing hard or in different ways does no good. Yet if you're
:)patient and just keep tapping them, after 6 or 60 presses they begin working
:)perfectly until the next time it's turned off.
:)Is this a common problem? Is there a way to fix it? Has anyone managed to
:)open the cases on these things? (I've tried laptop computer case-crackers
:)and nothing seems able to pry it open) I'm not naive enough to think
:)there'll be a reasonably-priced replacement part available, of course... (I
:)showed it to a guy at the Sharp booth at Comdex and his reaction was
:)"Whoa-ho! I didn't know anyone was still using those!!")
