Thinkpad Keyboards upkeep Wiki? For Cleaning Dry/ Wet, Keys Repair/ Replace, Trackpoint/ UltraNav insights fixes?
I have a popped left shift key on my surviving SK usb keyb with ultranav - PS: Excuse me for the typos.
How can i fix it; repair / replace the key?
At the immediate I am considering "transplanting left [censored] key from other ultranav keyboard" - whats the best/ safe way to pop it off? without breaking the tiny plastic tabs below the key cap.
Should I post this separately away from the larger meta question?
Another one has some wierd 'locked/ sticky' key phenomena.
Might have to follow some "method" to pop off some keys for deeper assess & cleanse. How to do that safely or atleast more cautiously, not blindly.
I've procrastinated such tiny things over time and i wish there was a collected set of wisdom on their upkeep - prevention and cures.
I searched via forum & via Google adv search site;thinkpads.com and found a few really old threads, lots of broken links/ image etc./ some conflicting info/ tips as well.
Can the collective wisdom be curated, compiled and linked in one place?
