Ahhh, okay, thanks. It did look like a real PITA to replace, having to remove two key switches ... although I did consider just cutting the legs and then soldering the new one on the underside.
I've certainly found checking the resistance is a good way to confirm whether a switch is working or not before soldering a prospective spare in and then finding it's the same - the Series 2 PC I'm currently selling had a failed left SHIFT key - I've got a bunch of spares from the Educator I gutted so was able to check the resistance on a replacement BEFORE soldering it in and testing.
