Little qwerty in a coma

It's as if the Y2Krash ONLY happened to Little qwerty and the BBt-PPP, all Little qwerty has got to say nowadays is error 08611, which the IBM web manual remedy is either reseat the keyboard connector ribbons or replace the keypad track mouse that is embedded in the key pad, the little red dot to the left of the pic below.

Side View, the connectors are closed to camera.

the key pad connectors up close, it's the copper coloured one on the left that is the problem.

 

This is the part that needs replacing and it NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY.

 

Anyway, the piece that is broken is not available as a separate part, therefore the entire key board need be purchased. (FRU # 04K0051) Of course www.ibm.com.au don't have any in stock and it has to be ordered in from the USA, which will take more than a month, although, whether there are any 1994 model keypads in the factory remains to be discovered, natch I will keep you up to date with progress or lack there of.
