Hi, I’ve got one of these keyboard - I’m a fan of it in general. It’s pretty high mileage, and they don’t make em anymore. Nothing is obviously physically damaged; my “U” key and a handful of keys on the number pad are just dead. Anyone have any thoughts on fix? is there such a thing as a diagnostic app for Apple keyboards? Thanks!
All the switches are on one flexible print, it is not possible to change individual keys, unfortunately. In my case the spacebar is not working anymore, I removed the key cap and there are 3 individual switches, but non is responding, hence the decoder must be the issue…
Unfortunately there is just no way to repair these with the exception of replacing the keys.
Lost for lost… I immersed the keyboard in an ultrasonic bath. Then I dried the keyboard on a slightly warm radiator. Three days. The dead keys are resuscitated… I did the same thing with a mouse… I risked nothing more! The keyboard was broken…! …
have a look on this : https://fr.wifi-direct.net/articles/guid… In french, but you have Apple Translate I suppose ;-)
I tried repairing a Apple keyboard and couldn’t actually get the keyboard apart,without destroying it.Other keyboards should be repairable.
