Kent, Please consider a new keyboard for your poor customer. With this many
leads showing there must be ratio problems as well and I don't think you're
going to fix it with light hammers. Although there is a slim cnace that the
leads were installed to overcome high key friction. More info would be
helpful. Best of luck. Chris Solliday
