Need help repair keyboard
« on: Wed, 24 July 2013, 11:24:39 »
So I got my keyboard and the 'i' key doesn't work. Didn't want to return it if I can fix it myself.

I did a continuity check on the 'i' switch and it beep when I pressed it, so it's suppose to be alright, but if I check the voltage, when I pressed the switch it does not become equal between the two legs of the switch. Other switch voltage became equal when press it. If I short the two legs of the switch, then a press is registered.

 What does this mean? Bad solder joint?
