Keypad Fix Clean and Restore Conductivity to The Carbon on The Keys and The Copper PC Board Pads

So far this product has worked great on my cordless phone keypad. The buttons were not working, even after cleaning. So I thought I would try this product. Here is what I did.1. I cleaned the buttons and the PCB with alcohol to remove any grease and dirt.2. I used a tooth pick to make sure the conductive paint was thoroughly mixed. This takes a few minutes because the conductive material is pretty thick and gunky until you mix it up. I made sure there was no solid material on the sides or the bottom of the jar.3. I used a very fine tip paint brush to apply a very thin but complete coverage of the buttons. I had to wear magnifying glasses to see the buttons up close. However, it was fairly easy to apply a thin layer using this approach.4. I let it dry for 24 hours.5. I put the cordless phone back together and the phone works great.Now I am not sure how long it will last but even if it lasts a few months, it would be easy to do again. So far I am happy with the process and the results.

I used this product to "refresh" the keypad contacts on the Atwood levelling jacks on my RV. The keypad is about 17 years old and only worked intermittently. After carefully cleaning the contacts with Q-tips and alcohol I applied a thin coating of the Idolon keypad fix solution to the carbon contacts and let it dry overnight. Now all the buttons work perfectly. It is very important to mix the product thoroughly.

I have mixed feels about the performance of this product. It is certainly very conductive. As many reviewers have written, the cost of the product wasn’t prohibitive, so I thought I’d give it a chance. I was attempting to repair a remote that has soft touch, rubbery control buttons. I had two identical remotes to repair, so here’s what I tried. On the first remote, I simply applied the paint to the contact side of the buttons. It is important to note that the rubbery button already had a conductive coating in it. On the second identical remote, I followed a “helpful tip” written on the product’s packaging that read: “clean surface with alcohol wipe.” So on the second remote, I tried this step. Then I waited 48 hours to dry.Result: Remote one, the conductive paint literally fell off. I had a little pile of little round black circles. Remote two, no problem. The conductive paint worked great!! It’s like having a new remote.If I use this product in the future, I will absolutely prep the surface ahead of time by cleaning with alcohol. I think this is an important step.

Volume down button stopped working, and this Keypad Fix worked 100%. Keys to success is to use alcohol to clean the area well, then after applying the liquid, let it dry very well for hours. Great product.

Cleaned rubber contact points....let dry....mixed compound per instructions....applied super thin coat...allowed to dry 24+ hours. Worked great first day...till all the solution flaked off over next few days. Should have just ordered replacement remote in first place.

There's more in this tub than you'll ever use in your entire life. Very, very little is needed for the job. But when it comes time to use it, you need to be so, very diligent about stirring the heck out of it -- I used a cut-off Q-tip stick (no fluff, just stick) to stir it for a good 10 minutes, slowly churning-away at the thick, coagulated gunk on the walls and bottom, until eventually it turned into a thick paint-like paste... and then stirred some more, for another few minutes, until there were no blobs or gunk and it was all dissolved.Then, I clean the conductive pad on the rubber part of the remote with 99% isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, and... painted the tiniest bit on the pads with the stir stick.I let it dry for about an hour, and then when I could see that it was dry to the touch, I placed the pad on the remote and pressed the button. Finally! The power button worked again, reliably and easily like new.Assuming this fix actually holds up as advertised, this is well worth it - for a remote for a projector that's not seen any aftermarket replacements. Well worth the fiddling.

Works okay. Make sure you mix it well and only coat the membrane with a thin coat.Fixed my bench membrane keypad

I have already used this product before. This is a conductive paint that you apply to the back of bad keys on rubber keypads (e.g. television remote controls) when the conductive coating on them wears off or is damaged by grease or other contamination.Three things to keep in mind:1) The new paint will look "flatter" (i.e., not as shiny) as old keys that do not need repair. This is fine.2) Make sure to gently clean the surfaces with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol before applying the conductive paint.3) Make sure to wipe the inside of the jar lid and top edge of the jar before storing the jar for future use, so you can keep a good seal with the jar lid.
