Mitsumi repair
« on: Sun, 24 January 2016, 08:13:04 »
Hello all!

So I recently pulled an old Mitsumi keyboard out of an ancient crate of scrap/rubbish/****e at work and set about cleaning it up.







Thing is, on the circuit sheet/membrane? I noticed that one of the traces is missing where it terminates. Will this leave me with a dead key somewhere and is there any way to repair it?

Thanks!

You probably wouldn't be able to repair it since it's a membrane sheet. You could try silver ink but there's no guarantee it would work. Unless you just really like Mitsumi, it seems like a lot of work for a membrane keyboard that you can easily replace with a modern membrane board.

Personally, my advice is to not bother. Mitsumi hybrid isn't that great, and that particular model of keyboard is very common, it's easy to find another one for nothing. Check around offices, they have them everywhere.

Ha, yeah I figured as much.

Oh well, I was just bored that day and thought I'd take something apart ;D
