fried keyboard matrix
« on: April 16, 2008, 03:02:34 PM »
Got a 4000 keyboard recently that seems to have some several burned traces throughout the plastic matrix.  Anyone know a place that would have replacements?  I have a feeling that since the traces are on the plastic/film repair is not an option...  Any chance I can mod the keyboard controller to take a PS2 signal?

Thanks all!

I wish I could do that, but from the number and length of the traces I would need robot reflexes.  There are 3 spots on it where the traces are noticeably darker than the rest, with some residue on top.  They probably spilled something that just ate it away...  

When I test continuity between pads that go through the traces, nothing happens.

Went ahead and swapped it with my 500's matrix since I am mainly using the 4000 right now.  Gives me time to try rkauer's suggestion.  Thanks!
