I picked up a 5900 yesterday, decided to start getting it cleaned up today, somehow I managed to get the keypad wet and now I get nothing from it.

I removed it and put it where a breeze would get to it, hoping it would dry out, but I tend to doubt it. I realize that it is a printed circuit, so I am assuming that there would be a air bubble normally within the letters and numbers and their contact points, and now there doesn't seem to be any. Presuming that the seal is shot in this due to the current issue, does anyone know where they are available from or is it possible to send it out to get it repaired and whom would you recommend.

Thanks so much. I thought I got a great deal on the machine, especially when I got most of the non responding motors working, now I deal with this. Maybe not so good a deal.

I'll check for people who repair them. I'll also see if we have any, or where you can get them.

Is this keypad for a 5900 JR. or SR.?

Don;t I feel like a total fool. I should have known better than to listen to the guy I bought everything from to begin with, it is not a 5900, they are Crane 145's.

Good Lord. (Bangs Head reapeatedly)!!!!

Super easy to find parts for now.

Thanks everybody!!!

Just a thought, Its tough for moisture to penetrate the membrane switch but not unheard of, Unless you totally submerged it I would say your problem maybe elsewhere. Moisture in the connector can cause issues. There is a slight "bubble" between letter and button but on a national you won't be able to tell. The national key pad has proven to be the one with the most issues over all the membrane switches I encounter. Just another thought.

That is just my luck. I get everything straightened out with that, and placed another only to find that the mech has decided to check out. The roll pins for the arms won;t sit completely so now it will not refund money.

Seems one thing after another this week.
