Our membrane keypad is a thin conductive
pad that repairs (replaces) the conductive contacts in a
rubber keypad.
The membrane is very thin and installs
between the original rubber keypad and circuit board. The
original conductive contacts on the rubber keypad push down
on the membrane to activate the button.
One of the major reasons rubber keypads
fail is due to dust contaminants and/or oily build up
by-product from the rubber pad.
-
Made with
carbon material
Not a conductive paint that can scratch and chip
-
Permanently
blocks natural keypad oil by-product and dust
contamination.
-
Carbon
material will not wear out or rub off
-
Buttons are
more responsive than original and will stay that
way.
Any drawbacks??
The only problem with membrane
keypads is they do not improve cosmetic issues (if any)
with the rubber keypad. Yellowed keypads, faded
printing, torn or missing buttons, etc...
Problem is, new rubber keypads are
not always available and even if they were, you'd just
run into the same problem. |
Clean the circuit board
Install membrane keypad spacer
Peel away paper liner
Install membrane keypad conductor
All buttons repaired!
With no oily goop getting in the way, your new buttons will
last far longer than original. |
