Repairing a Computer Keyboard

Step 12Test the Repaired Keyboard Assembly

Test the Repaired Keyboard Assembly

  • Keyboard - 52.jpg
  • Keyboard - 51.jpg
Carefully reattach the Keyboard Assembly to the Keyboard Encoder board. Neither has to be screwed down... We're just testing.

Check every key and make sure it works. If any new keys don't work or two keys press each other, you've got a hair in there! Remove the screws surrounding the problem area to the side of the keyboard. Hold it slightly open on the edge and blow hard into the space. Don't spit! We really don't want to start over! :) Now, put the screws back in.

Once the keyboard tests okay, disconnect the Keyboard Assembly and tighten the screws using the same every other screw technique. This process aligns the torque across the plate, much like tightening a car's wheel.
