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.
Warranty policy update 12/12/2009
From 45 to 90 days, any switches replaced will be $5.00 each installed plus return shipping and packaging if needed.
90 days to 180 days any switches replaced will be $10.00 each installed plus return shipping and packaging if needed.
The base
charge for cleaning and repair is $55.00 for any model of
Northgate keyboard, except Dvorak layout and
Evolution's. For Dvorak layout and Evolution's add
$10.00 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,
multiple keyboards are
$3.00 extra for packaging. (Packaging includes the box, foam
pouch and anti static peanuts)
Any
keyboards repaired and not paid within 60 days of the repair
will be considered
abandoned and will be sold
for the repair cost.
I can make the following:
Internal
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.
