Has anyone here had any success repairing damaged traces on a keyboard membrane...?
I got this nice narrow (no number pad) keyboard with an integrated trackpad and PS/2 ports which would serve a purpose for me very well, but a handful of the keys wouldn't work, and opening up the case, I found one trace on one half, and 4 on the other half of the membrane associated with the non-working keys were blackened (near the edge, so possibly the result of a spill). No continuity through those blackened portions, each portion maybe about 1-2 cm long.
I did get some "wire glue" from eBay (some "Anders" product) after seeing it recommended elsewhere, and tried it, but it didn't work for me, but maybe it just works for good metal surfaces in very close proximity. The line of wire glue looked open to a meter over the 1cm, but reducing the distance, I could begin to see some resistance, so maybe it's not good for such large (relative) distances.
Should I have better results with a more expensive conductive pen I've seen as well, or any other solutions that might work?
