Solve : Spray on metal to fix keypads?

Answer»

Do they MAKE anything to spray on key pads when they do not make electrical contact that is on the rubber part?No, you get anew device that will last longer.
Did you mean Keypad or Keyboard?
Why do you think a key is not working?
Did you try another keypad or keyboard?

It is not clear if you are talking about a
Desktop Keyboard
Laptop keyboard
Cell phone keypad

Mechanical keyboards with electrical switches on not use very MUCH in consumer goods. The common thing is Chiclet keyboard or a Membrane keyboard

Membrane keyboards work by electrical contact between the keyboard surface and the underlying circuits when keytop areas are pressed. These models were used with some early 1980s home computers, enjoying wide adoption in consumer electronics devices. The keyboards are quite inexpensive to mass-produce, and are more resistant against dirt and liquids than most other keyboards. However, due to a low or non-existent tactile feedback, most people have difficulty typing with them, especially when larger numbers of characters are being typed. Chiclet keyboards were a slight improvement, at least allowing individual keys to be FELT to some extent.
Either way, the actual contact is not with a thing that can be sprayed with metal .
However, a solvent may clean out dirt.
You can usually restore conductivity to the carbon pad by wiping it once or twice with fine-grit sandpaper until it has a dull appearance.

There are also products like this one[/url= to try to restore the conductivity as well. Those are geared more towards the carbon COMPOUND on the PCB itself.Will tryI had issue with an old game controller, I pulled it apart and used 90% alcohol to clean the carbon pads but was DOUBTFULLY sure to also clean the electrical contacts the pads are pressed against. That seemed to work for me but I know it is not a long term solution.
