Input devices / KB Membrane Fix?
« on: 2020.January.19. 22:48:34 »
Some keys in my E64's keyboard stop registering inputs. It seems that the membrane is defective. I found replacements online, but the prices are quite high! I wonder if there's a way to fix the one I have without the need for a new replacement? Any ideas please?
Thank you.
Thank you.

« on: 2020.January.14. 00:58:13 »But making the Arabic characters type right-to-left would be a bit more of a challenge!In addition to this RtL, Arabic characters change their shapes based on their positions in words. For example, a character such as م can be at least written in 4 different shapes (isolated, initial, middle & end)!

I see now. So it was not an offical language. The Egyptian importer "Arabized" the keyboard to be compatible with the program he was selling.
Thank you for clarifying this issue.

So, why they bothered with making Arabic keyboard in the first place when they didn't plan to implement the software for it?! Very strange!
Thank you so much for your input.

« on: 2020.January.12. 15:18:21 »There is no Arabic.Rom, sorry. The only "official" language Rom was the BRD.Rom(German), and from that the users made the others. You have some of them on the emulator: HUN.Rom, ESP.Rom and derivates.I have a real English/Arabic E64 computer, hardware not emulator. I can type in the word processor using English letters. I'm asking how can I switch the input language into Arabic?
Thank you.

I've an Arabic E64 and would like to know if there is a keyboard short-cut to switch between English and Arabic while entering texting?
Thank you.
Thank you.

« on: 2020.January.11. 20:25:18 »Yes, it is correct.Strange! I made some wrong connections and got B/W picture. After I fix those connections I get no picture at all (only black screen), but I can hear key clicks on the TV's speaker. Unfortunately, I don't have an oscilloscope right now to trace the signals :/

I made the cable but I'm getting inconsistent video signal. I've a doubt about the pinout order! Is the attached picture correct? I'm using the digram from here: http://enterprise.iko.hu/pinouts.htm
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you @Judge for the picture.
I changed C9 and the other chips. I also made an RGB to SCART cable. I can see "EXDOS 2.0 TEST FC" message at the top of screen now. After that, the word "E N T E R P R I S E" starts glowing on screen in black and white. Nothing happened after that. There was no memory test and the computer never booted. I wonder if this is a normal behaviour?

I ordered AMP 645235-8 connector. I'll start doing this video cable once I restore the E64.
