Need urgent help: Juno 106 key contact broken lead under rubber

2013-09-29 by <gilwe@...>

Hello friends.


Today I took my beloved Juno 106 out of storage to prepare it for a show. Checking the keyboard I found one dead key. I took the keyboard, key and rubber stripe off to see what's under it. What I found was that at the very point where the keyboard PCB trace for the certain key, meets one of the "half moon" contact, there was some kind of corrosion.


I checked the contact between the PCB trace and it's half moon, and found there was no contact between the two. That right-hand half moon is supposed to be connected to the same line with all other right-hand half moons of all other keys.


I'm afraid to try anything before I have your advice so I don't cause any further damage...

These PCB's are impossible to find.


How can I reconnect the track to the half moon and keep good contact between them ? I'm afraid soldering iron is not going to work here ?


Thanks very much for your advice !
