Hi all, I'm new to this forum.
I've bought a thinkpad 760EL. It's a bit worn but fully usable. The problem is that some of the keys doesn't respond unless I press really hard. Is there's something that can be done except for replacing the keyboard? Could it be the silicon dome? Or sensor issue?
All inputs much appreciated.

Thinkpad 760EL keyboard issues
Re: Thinkpad 760EL keyboard issues
Please try to disassemble keyboard covers and check condition of circuit boards and contacts/connectors. These units, after more than 20 years, suffer from degradation and oxidation of the contacts, which ultimately leads to irreversible damage to the keyboard. I own at least six 760-series units, and only two of them still have fully functional keyboards. Rest of them suffered from serious contact/connector oxidation for batteries, speakers, ribbon cables.
