OMG TYSM!! about 2 yrs ago i spilled something on my keyboard and some of the keys stopped working. i managed to get a most of them working again, but there were still a couple that didn't. 1 of those was a key i use all the time. i was about to retire the keyboard and get a new 1, but i thought I'd try 1 last time to see if i could fix it. that's wen i stumbled upon ur vid and now ALL my keys work!!! i almost cried bc its been so long since I've been able to play and hear the songs i play in their entirety and without missing notes in between. tysm again

[@martinsiyamba4950]

Its good that u put a nice scripture there

[@huey_le]

What kind of pencil was that? #2?

[@tombruzo1494]

My problem is the pcb itself, the contact metal in the PCB has eroded so its missing a few "arms?" so its not properly touching/making contact with the conductive rubber. Its the part that you added the pencil lead like a two inverted M markings in the PCB. Do you guys know how to fix that?

[@shikhakrishna]

Hello, @turnoffreality would this work on a RockJam5061 keyboard if the middle C key is not working

[@carriec.fernandez1781]

I know I come like 5 years after you uploaded this video, but anyhow, let's get to the matter at hand. I have a RockJam RJ461 which *A lot* of keys do not work, and several had to be taken out because the little black dots that make contact to play the note fell off and they're practically gone. Do you know any place where these like silicon parts for the keyboard can be bought? It would be a huge help, as I really want to fix this issue.

[@mkwyk]

How about my 1 F key playing or holding automatically without doing anything?

[@djroboscope]

So just any pencil will work?? Or do you need a specific kind? Is this a permanent fix, or do you have to redo it every so often? Thank you!

[@ThePiprian]

I assume the graphite in the pencil just helps it make better electrical contact. If that is the case, a more permanent solution would be to clean the contact areas with isopropyl alcohol. You might wanna test how the material reacts to the alcohol at an unimportant spot but in general it is safe to use which is why it is frequently used for cleaning/repairing electronics. Do not use acetone! It can dissolve certain plastics that are common in electronics.

[@Linchikful]

Love the Bible verse at the end :)

[@createrroyal986]

I agree with that,a pencil rod or leftover is ideal for electric insulation👍thank you bro

[@turnoffreality5333]

You're welcome bro 👍🏻

[@geekyadore]

I have the same kind of keyboard, wonder if the green and the black part is replaceable? (under the white rubber/silicone thing) Mine got broken under one key. Or just get a new electronic keyboard?

[@turnoffreality5333]

I guess you mean the PCB board. Try searching it on the internet if they sell the part or just ask a technician. If you have no problem on buying a new keyboard, JUST GET IT!

We are still looking for keyboard repair shops but here in Pangasinan its hard to find when we bring it to the shop where we buy the piano they told us that they will bring it to manila to fix it and it will take a month. What can i do to fix this? can i really fix this by myself?

Quick question, does this work with keyboards that has two sensors?

[@turnoffreality5333]

It depends on the circuitry.

[@798nicolas]

It worked perfectly, god bless you ❤

[@798nicolas]

For anyone wondering if this is going to work for you, it worked for me, but my situation was this: the key was working find and then suddenly it started to not play the note all the times you press it, so I needed to do it harder or several times until it started playing again the note, but just for a few seconds. So if your keyboard have a similar issue, then give it a try

[@798nicolas]

And I know it wasn't a mechanical issue or something like that because I armed and disarmed it a few times but it worked just until I decided to use the pencil
