Lubing NovaTouch stabilizers

[zslane]

Has anyone found an effective way to lube the stabilizer arms of a NovaTouch without taking the plate apart from the domesheet/PCB?

This works for me:

So you just squirt it in from the top? How do you get it to reach the right part of the stabilizer arms?

Here's a shot from the bottom

I just put a small blob (half a match head or so) on the purple plastic either side of the exposed bit of wire and let it work itself in.
That grease is quite viscous.

Ah, got it. Thank you very much for those photos!

Just wanted to chime in to confirm that this is a great lubing method. I lubed the hell out of the stabs when I opened up my Novatouch to lube the sliders, and I was still getting a lot of rattle from the stabilized keys. I really didn't want to take the board apart again, so I used your method, and the stabilized keys are sounding MUCH better. I guess getting lube on the top and bottom is key (I usually just put a bunch of lube right on the wires when I have the keyboard open).

Thanks for the advice!
