Key board-Problems and Troubleshooting

􀂾 Keys are getting stuck
Remove the Key cap
Pour drops of IPA and gently tap 3 or 4 times.
For long keys, check for proper fixing of the metal link beneath the Key Cap.
􀂾 One Key is not working
Remove the Key cap
Pour drops of IPA and gently tap 3 or 4 times.
Open the Keyboard and check for Dry Soldering and Re-solder the points.
Check for continuity of all the tracks running through the key which is not working.
Lay the tracks or jumper the points, if any tracks are found to be cut. (If it is a Membrane
KBD, draw the tracks using a Conductive Ink pen)
Check the functioning of the Key switch and replace it if found faulty.
􀂾 A group of Keys is not working
Open the Keyboard and trace the common line for the group of keys which are not
working.
Check for Dry Soldering and Re-solder those points.
Check for continuity of all the tracks running through the group of keys which are not
working.
Lay the tracks or jumper the points, if any tracks are found to be cut.
􀂾 Keyboard is not getting sensed
Check for loose connections of the KBD connector with the PC and fix it properly.
Confirm whether the problem is on the PC side or Keyboard side by swapping the
Keyboard in a working PC.
Open the Keyboard and check the continuity of each wire of the Interface Cable.
If found open or short, cut the cable at the Keyboard side and check the continuity again.
If it is OK, solder the cable directly to the Keyboard Connector.
If the Cable continuity is found OK, still Keyboard is not detecting, the KBD Controller
might be Faulty
