Re: Keyboard not working after cleaning. Is there any fix?

I fired up the air compressor and blew out the switches. They all seem to be better, but not quite perfect. I get a few double-presses on some of the keys but I'm hoping more time + air will fix them.

Lesson learned - never try to clean out the insides of the switches.

Re: Keyboard not working after cleaning. Is there any fix?

I didn't desolder anything. The only thing that might have got into the switches while cleaning it is the electronics contact cleaner (this stuff) which I used to clean the PCB.

I'll try shorting the pins and see what happens.
