Subject: Re: Broken key [won't spring back up]

Maybe my experience can help you: after 2 years the keys from C2# to
F#2 (if I remember well) did not answer anymore. 3 times the AN1x
left in repair, and each time the breakdown occured again !
One day, I decided to open the AN1x. Don't worry: the mechanism is
very simple. I think there is no lubrification for the keys. But for
my problem, it was a bad welding. And each time the AN1x was open and
closed, the problem disaperead ! Finally, I asked a technician to
remake the welding, and since then I don't have any more the problem.
In conclusion: don't hesitate to open your AN1x: if you are afraid,
take pictures of each step before unmount the components, and
probably you will find somewhere a mechanical disfunction - there is
a "sensitive ribbon" where the "hammer" comes to type...
