Nick,
I have a rev E keyboard I replaced with a rev F. All the keys work, but the delete key
is sticky and some of the keys resist a bit. I have been keeping it around just in
case, but it sounds like you could use it. If you send me your mailing address I'll
check the postal rates to the UK and if practical mail it off to you.
Don't know about the power switch problem because I haven't been inside my own 280
that much.
