Hi,

I have here a Compaq Portable Plus in nice condition. But the keyboard doesn’t work. There is no signal from the keyboard.
I know that the capacitive key switches making problems after 30 years. But this is not the problem. The Compaq Portable is okay. I checked it with a normal XT-keyboard (with some hacks because of the 12V and the connection to the board).

So I’m searching for a ROM-image from the keyboard. I think that mine has lost his information since he has developed in 1983.

I hope someone can help me.
 
It wasn't the keyboard ROM but the keyboard controller that was faulty. He fixed his Compaq in the meantime (helped him, so I know).
 
Thanks for the update Timo. He pm'd me quite a while ago but forum wouldn't allow me to respond. Only just thought recently to reply to this post. Glad to hear it worked out.
 
Thx tkc8800 for your reply. I didn´t see it... sorry.
And yes, the keyboard and the portable working nice now. Timo helped me to find the defect.
