WK3000 key quit working - help!


Old man

Recommended Posts

This is typically caused by dirt, dust, dead bugs, etc. on or under the dimpled rubber key contact strips beneath the keys.  It can occasionally be cleared by spraying a can of compressed air (NOT CONTACT CLEANER - NO LIQUIDS UNDER THE KEYS - EVER) around and under the affected key(s).  If this does not resolve the problem, then replacement of one or more of the dimpled rubber contact strips may be indicated.  New strips are available from various sources, and it can be a DIY project.  There are photos here, as well as YouTube videos that illustrate the process, but even so, it is certainly not for the technically faint of heart, or those not adept at using tools on delicate instruments.  At the age of the WK-3000, and with the current labor rates for professional repairs, charges could easily exceed more than half the cost of a newer replacement keyboard.  So, that would need to be taken into consideration, before entering into any repair agreement.

yo limpio las teclas d mi wk3000 cada 2 an~os; desarmo las 3 laminas metalicas que se encuentran bajo el teclado, remuevo con cuidado la placa base PCB, limpio los contactos de las gomas y los pads con toallas humedas y seco con servilleta de papel, luego coloco tinta conductiva (con forma de pintura para un~as )que venden en las tiendas de refacciones de partes electronicas, dejo secar 1 hora y regreso las gomas y la base.

 

la base de las gomas tiene un ligero toque de carbon conductivo parecido al de los controles remotos que con el calor tienden a desgastarse y a ensuciarse provocando malos contactos entre los pads sensores del speed o touch.

 

en mi caso  yo estudie electronica, pero cualquiera que tenga cuidado pudiera darle limpieza a esa zona del teclado.

aun asi te suguiero que lo lleves a un servicio tecnico para que realice dicha limpieza interna de los contactos pads y gomas bajo las teclas.
