    I've been using my FL-90 for about the past year and a half, and have been really pleased with it. Very few problems until a day or two ago.

    My G, H, F4, ', and Backspace keys stopped consistently working. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they'll input two of the character I press; g will become 'gg', and so on. I've already tried taking it out the keys and cleaning dirt out from under them, and even taking out the whole keyboard and cleaning out from under that. Nothing worked.

    I've tried looking online for a replacement keyboard, and can't find one anywhere. My question is: Is there anything I can do to save the keyboard, or where could I find one to order online?

    AFAIK FL90 uses the same keyboard module as the HEL80.

    NCIX was the only place that I could find selling it at a non-ridiculous price, and it seems like the stock is empty. Try contacting them to see if they can still get it.
