Charlie Balogh<p>Commodore 116 keyboard repair and modding in progress. 😨</p><p>Step 1:<br>Drilling the plastic rivets, and making tiny screw holes in the case, using a 1.4mm drill bit. The drill stop is set up in a way, that one can't drill through the plastic. </p><p>Step 2:<br>"It's cheaply built keyboard smoke! Don't breath this!" </p><p>Step 3:<br>Using 22 tiny M1.7x4mm screws in place of the rivets. The keyboard can be freely dis- and reassembled now.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commodore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8bit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/modding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/c116" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>c116</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plus4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plus4</span></a></p>
