Fixing bent plate
Posted: 21 Jan 2019, 15:37
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask.
Got a Monterey K102 in the post today only to find out something heavy has been sitting on the keyboard causing the plate to bend (only at the top). Is there any way to fix this without desoldering all the switches? I've pondered the idea of desoldering the switches around the bent area, clamping it then using something to push it back out but I'd like some suggestions before I go bending a keyboard. To make matters worse, the PCB is a bit bent too.
