Opening An Hk 5200 Keyboard

[David H]

I have just been given a replacement wireless HK 5200 keyboard (generic make) as the first was dead, and decided to try and fix the old one in case I could keep it as a spare. I removed the screws but there are two points in the dead centre where it is still attached somehow so can't get the back off and each key has an individual rubber seal instead of a sheet of them all, and they are dropping out as I try to do it so had to give up. I've got the battery compartment off and stuck it to the metal base to keep it safe, and until I can retrieve a few seals stuck inside can't close it again. This is what it looks like.

Sorry to hear. Some things aren't designed well enough to be feasible to repair :-(

I opened a keyboard a few years ago, and everything sprung all over the floor ! You are very brave David, but I fear you are on a hiding to nothing trying to repair yours. Tiny little nimble asian fingers made it in the first place and perhaps that is what you will need to repair !

I bought one of these last year and they are cheap enough if you need to replace it ::::
