Testing the keyboard: you can test most keys with any games.
After you select any game (with the reset button followed by presses of the joystick trigger buttons), start a game by pressing any key on the keyboards. Almost every key is enabled to start games.
If the key works, press reset again, and start a new game with a different key.
Keep doing so with as many keys as you can, and keep a record of the keys that don't work. From memory, the keys at the left and right ends of the keyboards won't work (but I can be mistaken and I dont have a CV handy to test and confirm which keys are "disabled")
Hope this helps!
PS: a diagnostic/multicart fitted with the keyboard diagnostic program or any version of the BASIC interpreter is always the best solution.
Thank you very much
I will also follow your recommendations for testing the controllers / keyboard
What I miss is the connector which is not so easily found
I have already built the multicart but I do not want, on this console, to connect the cables directly, it would be better if I had in my hands a cartridge to be sacrificed just to use the pins

Replacement controller membrane solutions are being investigated, just very slowly :-)
(Another revision of the PCBs ordered yesterday)
