This is for a complete cleaning and repair of a Northgate keyboard, any model and other brands that have Alps switches.
Would you like to have your Northgate look like the keyboards pictured below? I will disassemble your keyboard, clean the inside, wash keycaps and all plastic parts, test all key switches and replace if necessary. Your keyboard will look and act like new again. I can sometimes fix motherboards, but not chips, etc.
!!!!!!!!
Yellow, Orange discolored
Keyboard tops
Thanks
to a couple of customers that sent me a link to a formula to take out
the "Orange, Yellowish color of some Northgate keyboards, I can
now take out most of the discoloration of these keyboards. It is very
slow and takes numerous applications of the solution and requires a
bright sunny day to work. I have not tried keycaps as I think it will
be to tedious and expensive. To do the keyboard
top, the cost is $30.00
!!!!!!!!
Northgate Warranty
My work is guaranteed. If you have any problem or another switch goes bad other than what we repaired or replaced in the first 30 days, ship it back and I will repair it, at no charge for the labor, there will be a charge for any new parts needed.
You pay the shipping to me and I will pay the return shipping.
If anything we repaired or replaced goes bad, I will pay the shipping both ways.
The keyboard has to be returned in the original packing or there will be a charge for new packaging.

After diagnostics, if you decide against the repair, there will be
$10.00 minimum charge.
If
the repair is less than $25.00 the charge will be the minimum of
$25.00
If
a keyboard is excessively dirty like the before and after 102, there
will be a $5.00 surcharge.
Any
parts needed are an extra charge. Shipping is not included.
I will
ship back to you by UPS ground insured. Shipping costs will be actual
cost plus $6.00 for packaging / handling,

cables
for Ultras
Cord
receptacle and internal cable for all removable cord OmniKeys
Programmable Northgates
If you have a programmable Northgate, a non dip switch model, I can clean it and replace switches. If it is locking up, it is caused by a bad Bios chip. There is a fix, e-mail me and I will tell you how to fix the problem.
