RE: [techtoolslist] 9010A hardware problem

I've completely unsoldered the offending key and have it in my hand, but
beyond that I can't see any other way to dismantle it further (it's still
stuck!)

My guess is it's not really stuck but something's broken off inside. It
would be nice to be able to get into it and confirm for sure though.

Have you tried taking the keyboard off the mounting plastic? It might have
shifted and just be jammed up...
