Broesen -- A recent post provided two links to detailed messages in the archives: The Pioneers weren't really designed to be opened and repaired, so care must be taken. -- KS ▼

Yes, be careful. Are you certain it must be opened? Many problems can be solved by resetting the processor. Remove the batteries and touch the two battery connections together with the edge of a coin. ▼

Hi Randy. Yes, I think I have to open it because all keys (1st row to right) aren't responding any more!! Peter ▼

You should be able to make it work by pressing on the raised part of the bezel above the 1/x key. Many times it will continue work after the pressure was applied. If not, it will need to be opened and the foam pad under the keyboard connection will need to be shimmed to increase the pressure on the connector.

To permanently repair the problem, it is first necessary to remove the metal keybord cover. This is glued on, but can be pried loose. Starting at a loose part of this cover, perhaps just below the display above the top row of keys, push a thin tool underneath to begin loosening the template. A plastic toothpick from a swiss army knife may work, i use something i made. Working like this, lift the template and loosen successive rows of keys a little at a time until all the glue is quite loose. Don't try to rip the template off once just one corner is loose, or the metal will bend and kink. I can email photos of the area I have referred to with the keyboard cover removed, if anyone needs them. -Ned ▼

You do not and should not remove the keyboard bezel to repair this type of problem with a Pioneer. Doing so will only get you a bent faceplate and you'll be no closer to solving the problem. Opening a Pioneer is done from the back, NEVER from the front. See http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=5 for the proven method to open.

my previous thread regarding this problem:
also definitely read this: somewhere Tony Duell commented on Paul Brogger's pioneer notes, but I forgot where.
regarding the faceplate:
Softening the keyboard template glue with heat would greatly ease removal, and i'll try/suggest that in the future. |
