Ouch! That's a real shame! Thanks for the heads-up Colin! I was
finally going to test mine this weekend, but was in two minds due to
the extra stress it would put on the old one again... makes you wonder
if the guy making 'em even tested one on a SAM, or just saw an extra
market, got the dimensions, & knocked them together without any real
checking...
Oh well! Live and learn!

I just wanted to ask if anyone have bought new membrane for Sam from
Rwap. If yes, what is your experience?
I bought two of them. But none is working properly. I have to press
keys hard and few times to get them work. Keys "F" and "J" doesn't work
at all. I took care there are not any "waves" as the holes for plastic
pins are tight, I tried to assemble it few times - always did it very
carefully. But the results are still the same.
I will try ore or two times more, but right now I am pretty
dissapointed by it's quality.
After seeing ellvis's post, I've squeezed in the time this evening
to try the membrane that I had bought from Rwap...
I tested it on two SAMs and in two keyboard assemblies... to sum it
up, to my dissapointment it's next to useless. Pressing every key on
the keyboard only a couple responded... and even those keys didn't
always respond.
Time to try and get my money back....
Colin
