Hi
I have replacement cups, keys, plungers and IC's if you get stuck:)
Don't go and do what I did the first time I took one to bits:) I accidentally knocked them off the supoort and I ended up removing the washer, carpet, cooker and anything that wasn't bolted down!!! just to find TWO rubber cups.
In the end I slowly mapped out the keys and where they ended up on the pcb, and there were already 2 cups missing as they weren't used. The pcb had 2 pads extra!!! What a bugger:)
It's possible that carbon or a film has built up upon the contact, I would find out and write down WHICH keys are at fault FIRST before you get down to the nitty gritty.
