Tungsten C keyboard repeats

Archived from groups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Hi all,
I have a Tungsten C and often when I press the letters "O", "Y", or "N" when
I'm typing on the keyboard, the letters double. ie. if I press "O" once I
get "OO" in the text. This means that I have to proof read everything that I
type very carefully, to stop any spelling mistakes getting through, which is
very annoying and time consuming. Has anyone else had this problem? Are
there any apps out there that put a delay on the keyboard or something to
stop this from happening?
Thanks for your help,
Patrick.

I had the same problem (different letters) and had to replace my
keyboard, which did fix the problem. I bought an old, broken Tungsten
W on ebay and salvaged its keyboard. I didn't find any other sources
for the part and with my T|C out of warranty, didn't want to pay Palm
$125 or whatever they charge for repairs. Search for the subject
"parts" posted by user "mfield" on Brighthand's T|C forum for more
info.
