UPDATE: Sorry if I should not have bumped this. I replaced the keyboard membrane and the computer is now fully working! Thank you for your replies!
I am literally speechless. In my country there are a ton of regulations when it comes to getting stuff out of the dump. You need special permits. So my permit says I can take 4 computers max. This summer I got 3, they were nothing special to be honest. A Laser 486 server, a Mac Performa (which was dead) and a Compaq 386 which was also dead (I posted about it here).
So today I went to throw out some of my stuff (faulty motherboards and monitors) and there were only five computers because apparently, many of them had already been scrapped. They were all generic P4s, too modern for my liking, plus I have tons of them already.
Just as we were leaving, I spot this red box, it was not with the other PCs, but with sound and video stuff (players, VCRs etc). Since the box had stuff on it, I couldn't really see what was written on it. As soon as I spotted "um 128" I knew what it was. I quickly told my father, "We might have hit the jackpot!". I remove the stuff that was on it and unwrap the box. Remove one of the polystyrene halves and VIOLA! A Spectrum+ 128K! I think it needs a new keyboard membrane.
