5mx fading keys

[paul_leadbeater]

The markings on some of the most used keys on my 5mx have started to fade. Does anyone know if Psion have a cure for this problem or will I have to use Paint (?)!

We have had this discussion numerous times in the newsgroups and the keys do not fade, they cannot fade because they are laser etched.

....or so say Psion!

In reality, users do find that, for whatever reason, the lettering on the keytops does become less clear, probably due to the etching becoming dirty, although it seems to be almost impossible to clean them.

Has any other reader found a way to clean them?

Mike,

Thanks to you for your reply.

I'll try some cleaning of my own.

Also thanks for the modem configuration data that I found on your Web site.

I lost (how, I don't know) the H key from my 5mx. I telephoned POS and spoke to one of their engineers. He said they sometimes get spare keyboards when they repair old units with new ones. He very kindly mailed me one, the whole keyboard! Gratis!!

Now that's what I call service !!!

Can't say they will do it again, but worth a phone call.

Hope that's useful.

Thanks Stocky.

I hope I get the same level of service.
