Thank you for your reply.
I presume this is on the membrane? If such is the case, I'd either have to hunt down the faulty traces or order a new membrane, correct?

'94 Model M - Garbled characters when typing

Hello folks.

I'll move past the obligatory "I'm new" here and get to my problem : When I type certain keys, the keyboard prints out the correct character but also 'garbage' additional characters... Not all keys are doing this , mainly just the S key ( prints 's/' ) and both H and J ( prints 'hj ...
