Keypad Fix Clean and Restore Conductivity to The Carbon on The Keys and The Copper PC Board Pads

I first tried another product for the purpose of re-carboning the rubber pads on a remote control, and it failed miserably. So as a last resort, I ordered this product, dubious that it work when another product from a much more well-known company did not work at all. Mixing was not the burden I expected it to be, and the application was quite easy. Rather than using a Q-tip, I turned around Q-tip using the wooden end, and this applied just the right amount of the product to produce the desired result. If you are wavering about whether or not to buy, just buy it. It just works! It's probably just graphite powder suspended in water glass, but it's far easier just to buy it already made than to make it yourself, especially when you really only need a little. The container has sufficient quantity to repair at least, by my estimate, 500 remote controls.

Fixed a remote control that was 20 years old and one button was not working. I used this keypad fix yesterday on it . Now it works perfect .😋

I have mixed feels about the performance of this product. It is certainly very conductive. As many reviewers have written, the cost of the product wasn’t prohibitive, so I thought I’d give it a chance. I was attempting to repair a remote that has soft touch, rubbery control buttons. I had two identical remotes to repair, so here’s what I tried. On the first remote, I simply applied the paint to the contact side of the buttons. It is important to note that the rubbery button already had a conductive coating in it. On the second identical remote, I followed a “helpful tip” written on the product’s packaging that read: “clean surface with alcohol wipe.” So on the second remote, I tried this step. Then I waited 48 hours to dry.Result: Remote one, the conductive paint literally fell off. I had a little pile of little round black circles. Remote two, no problem. The conductive paint worked great!! It’s like having a new remote.If I use this product in the future, I will absolutely prep the surface ahead of time by cleaning with alcohol. I think this is an important step.

I used this product to "refresh" the keypad contacts on the Atwood levelling jacks on my RV. The keypad is about 17 years old and only worked intermittently. After carefully cleaning the contacts with Q-tips and alcohol I applied a thin coating of the Idolon keypad fix solution to the carbon contacts and let it dry overnight. Now all the buttons work perfectly. It is very important to mix the product thoroughly.

I have already used this product before. This is a conductive paint that you apply to the back of bad keys on rubber keypads (e.g. television remote controls) when the conductive coating on them wears off or is damaged by grease or other contamination.Three things to keep in mind:1) The new paint will look "flatter" (i.e., not as shiny) as old keys that do not need repair. This is fine.2) Make sure to gently clean the surfaces with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol before applying the conductive paint.3) Make sure to wipe the inside of the jar lid and top edge of the jar before storing the jar for future use, so you can keep a good seal with the jar lid.

I'd never taken very good care of my old Yamaha PSR-230 keyboard, so it finally began to have problems, with a few keys not working properly, some not working at all anymore. Fortunately, I found a replacement for it ... a fully-functional used PSR-230 that someone was selling for $39.00. I intended to throw the old one out on trash pickup day, but then decided to try this product as a last resort ... without much confidence, after having read other reviews that weren't very encouraging. I'd cleaned the contact pads and circuit board contacts with denatured alcohol, and followed the product's instructions carefully ... stirring it periodically during the application to ensure that it remained thoroughly mixed. When finished, I thought I'd done a pretty good job, with the 122 contact pads looking "like new". The unfortunate result was that after this "fix", the instrument had twice as many dysfunctional/nonfunctional keys.In this instrument, the keys are connected between two separate I/O ports of an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller which, I suspect, measures the striking timing and force in order to provide a touch response feature, like a conventional piano. This simple "fix" is probably not compatible with a switching system with this level of complexity.

Volume down button stopped working, and this Keypad Fix worked 100%. Keys to success is to use alcohol to clean the area well, then after applying the liquid, let it dry very well for hours. Great product.

don't waste you time with this product. just buy a new replacement or one off ebayI have several key that were iffy or completely dead, now the device is garbagefollow up so i spent a few hours removing this product. i did a little investigation,my device have a 150 ohm contact while this product was apx 5k and up. so it appears to be working with higher resistance. but my device needs lower resistance
