I am playing.
But a dodgy keyboard is giving me issues on the amiga front so this will likely be a gameboy set.

Is it an A1200 or A600?
Easy fix here by yours truly:

Not a problem man, glad it was of help!
I am pretty surprised I did not get more reactions on that thread to be honest. People complain about this problem all the time and some other people give out tremendously complicated and impractical fixes. This might be a bit bruteforce-ish, but it does the job fine and is not like you are likely to render your Amiga useless. I performed this on my A600 like a year ago and it still works. Of course with some more dedication you can make it a lot better than I did 
NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE AMIGA TO THAT GIGI

Two weeks to write some tracks should be enough.

So i'm home and my cable is quite different to the one in your picture. It's got this thick clear film too thick to just scratch through and a blue layer stuck on top of it. I tried to peel it back and it started ripping up the traces.
In true comedic style the cable is getting shorter and shorter.
So far failing. and getting more frustrated and failsome.

I ended up doing the same with my A1200 once, Akira, and it still sticks like there never was a problem!

godinpants, can you take a pic?
Only one of the sides of the cable allows this, you sure you were on the right side?

Hmmm really weird, at some point if you can photo it it would be cool.
Maybe you should try to hit a forum to just get the membrane instead of the whole keyboard? I always try to keep a spare membrane just in case...

This thread and a bunch of others mention there a two different variants, the green and blue. I have the blue.
Apparently they aren't interchangeable.
I have just remembered the jar of conductive paint i have. This may be the solution i needed in the first place
