Title: Poker II dead keys
Post by: m1hka on Fri, 13 February 2015, 00:16:22

Hello,
I've made Poker II LED mod yesterday. All lights are okay but "Q", "1", "ESC" and "TAB" keys are dead. What could be wrong? Any advice/thoughts would be helpful.
Sorry about photo quality.

The tracks going past the "A" switch and "Z" switch to the controller chip look like they could be damaged. Also, it looks like you may have some loose pieces of solder "dust" in various spots, check that the controller chip pins are clear of any such debris, as they're quite close together and could easily be bridged by a small piece of solder.

Controller is perfectly fine. "A" and "Z" are working.

You were right. It's the track near "A" switch. Any way to fix it? I'm newbie :(
