Title: Looking for a Matias small board (FK-303_usb)
Post by: magetricks on Fri, 10 July 2015, 09:35:38

Does anyone know where I can find Matias part # FK-303_usb for a http://matias.ca/miniquietpro/pc/?

I contacted customer service, and they claim they don't sell them, which is unfortunate being that I banged up my micro USB connector and board. The micro USB connector on mine was broken after a fall and did some damage to the circuit board itself.

You might provide a photo of the broken piece then someone may be able to tell you an alternative.

same thing happened to me. Micro usb fell off :( I think the micro usb port is weak. Hope they can have a replacement for this or our keyboard will be just an expensive paper weight...

If you know someone who can do some simple soldering, or if you're inclined to pick up a soldering iron and go watch some youtube videos on soldering, it should be less than a 3 minute fix .

You can buy USB connectors in all shapes and sizes from places like Farnell.
