Sony SW100

Post by Icon »

I have repaired several of these, but came across an issue I have never had before, and not sure, but am thinking it's the cable ribbon, but then again, not sure that each row of buttons has it's own separate connection. .
The 4 5 and 6 buttons do not work, but all other number and control buttons do. I probably have enough spare parts to fix the issue, but if it's not the ribbon, what else might I look at? I don't want to have to take it apart several times changing parts to find the problem, so any advice is a plus.,

Thank you much for that.. Learning to change parts, or replace ribbons is easy, as long as I can see the problem, or just change parts till it fixes the issue.
May see if I can print that manual, as it's easier for me to use printed material than to scroll thru pages on a screen..
