| [title] Measure | |
| - | [* black] Remove ribbon cable |
| + | [* violet] This is the section of the pushbuttons. Each of them, when pressed, is shorting to ground one connection in a resistor chain. This basically is a variable resistor to the microcontroller on the other end of the ribbon cable. The microcontroller measures the resistance and decides which value means which keypress. |
| + | [* violet] The problem comes when there is another resistance appearing due to dirt or other reasons. Then the whole circuit can behave as if random keys are pressed. |
| + | [* red] Remove ribbon cable |
| [* light_blue] Measure resistance to ground at this point. Should be OL (open) | |
| - | [* orange] If not, measure resistance across pushbuttons. Search for lowest resistance. This is the place you want to |
| + | [* orange] If not, measure resistance across pushbuttons. Search for lowest resistance. This is the place you want to replce the pushbutton |
