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.

my keyboard doesn’t work. i opened it up to clean it and closed it but it isn’t working anymore, please help. I’ve got a project to do and i can’t do without a keyboard
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.
wt is conductive pan?
Thanks for the information, more or less it depends on the nature of problem if it is too serious then we should go in to purchase a new one.
Keyboard is an important part of our system and it should always be maintained for its proper working. Thanks for the tips.
