Second channel: Atari 800XL keyboard repair
Added 2025-06-24 18:25:47 +0000 UTCHello my patrons! I'm back from VCF Southwest in Dallas. It's nice to be back in normal temps again! (I'm not used to the humidity and oppressive heat in Texas.) Thank you to everyone who managed to find me at the event and say "Hi!" It was an absolute blast to meet so many fans of the channel.
This second channel video is just about me trying to fix up the keyboard of the Atari 800XL that I recently fixed on the main channel. It had some keys that weren't working at all, and for some reason I couldn't pull the keycaps off. So in this video I try to get it all working without breaking anything.
I'd say considering the unorthodox methods I used here, I was quite pleased how this came out!
This video concludes all the Atari repair for now, I hope everyone has enjoyed it.
Thanks for all your support!

Just got an Atari 800! Several plungers split apart and a couple were previously fixed by glueing the keycaps in.. they probably did that to all the keys in your case 🫣 . Be glad you didn't pull the plunger out cause I can't see a way to get them back in without taking the whole keyboard apart
