it looks like the problem is not the key, but the little plastic piece that stops the key (up and down). if i'm right you have to change the entire board (not the electronic board, only the black plastic that holds the board and the keys). the last year, i have that problem 2 or 3 times (i use the emaxes in live shows as hard as i can), but the broken piece of plastic was inside keyboard, so i've fixed the problem with contact adhesive or something like that. sorry for my english, i speak spanish chip --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, s* <scartattack@...> wrote: > > Hmm, perhaps you need to replace the springs or j-wires (the spring > that makes key contact) in those keys?
