How To Repair A Computer Keyboard

Although many keyboards can be bought for as little as $15 – less even – if you have one that you really like and a few keys go, you should look into doing a little repair. It’s not that hard.

This Instructable goes through the fairly simple process of taking the thing apart, finding the problem and using a little conductive ink pen to fix it up.

    i used a pencil instead of a conductive ink pen as a temporary fix for my keyboard. The graphite material of pencil actually conducts electricity too. I used it when all of a sudden some keys went and I was in the middle of a project and I couldn’t go out to buy a new keyboard. It worked nicely for a while.
