And then I had to Repair the Cyberspace Keyboard

time1 yr agoview1 views

I assembled the Cyberspace Keyboard yesterday (https://diode.zone/w/8GKzQDfYN9cAh51aqSc6vc), but this morning found the 7 key had stopped working. One of the unused case supports had broken a solder joint on one of the components.

This video is me fixing it by;

  • breaking off the unused support,
  • using solder paste and hot air solder gun to fix the electrical connection,
  • actually using the case foam I had ordered to protect the PCB,
  • snipping the hole in the USB port larger to accommodate how my connector sits higher in the case.
