Title: Disassemble ducky shine 3 SLIM
Post by: Naihras on Sun, 12 June 2016, 09:54:37

Hey guys, I spilled some stuff over my keyboard last night and after cleaning everything I have 5 keys not working on the bottom line (xvn,-). I am looking for a way to disassemble my keyboard so I can try to fix it somehow but I don't really know how to do that. In the web there are guides for many duckies but they are all different from mine (slim version) - they have more screws etc.

Does someone here own/know how to disassemble my keyboard?

When you say slim I guess you mean that your keyboard is TKL (ten key less), look it up if you don't know what it's.

Regardings opening your keybaord that shouldn't be such a big deal. If you have looked at any video where a modern keyboard gets dissasembled you should be fine, probably any ducky board is close enought. It's just a couple of screws.
When you have opened the case it comes to see if the switches are plate or PCB mounted, as before look it up if you don't know the diffrence, it differs how they are attatched. From my search on the interwebs it say it's plate mounted.
Remove the not functional switches, requires soldering, and clean them up. Don't forget to also clean the PCB. Solder the switches back and and see if it helped, if not get new ones.

If you don't have any soldering iron or any knowlegde it might just be easier and cheaper to get a new one. If you don't know how to do it you might have some friend / family with the skill and equipment.

Good luck.

Is your Ducky Shine 3 (slim) like this yellow ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 3 YYY TKL k-board on the bad picture?

The black k-board is a ANSI Ducky Shine 3 fullsize 108 keys.
