Help needed on keypad problem - GSM-Forum

Hi all

I have an Ericsson A2618 which has 2 keys on the keypad not working correctly.

The manufacturer's conductive 'paint' on the back of the keypad has started to wear away. What is the best substance to use to solve this problem?

Thanks

use conductive paint!! You can buy it at any eletronics store. Also available at car stores, its used to fix broken lines in the rear window de-fogger

Thanks for the reply.

Won't the paint wear off and wouldn't the loose conductive fragments of paint cause short circuits across the circuit board?

If you have knife then just cut little pieces from old siemens s4 or motorola keyboard then use clay.

use steel plate from old Nokia 3310 + clay, but better plate from Motorola 250(they have same diameter as painted parts on Ericsson keyboard), Sony J70 bigger that Motorolla but smaller that Nokia 3310. And always use clay or u can have shortcut on keyboard.
