Small screwdrivers, Isopropyl Alcohol 70% (better 90%), rag/q-tips/old toothbrush
General Instructions
1) Disassemble your phone. 2)CRITICAL: Clean and dry the circuit board and rubber keypad using isopropyl alcohol. Rags, cotton balls or q-tips come in handy here. Make sure all the oils are removed before installation. The circuit board should not be sticky or slimy. If necessary you can remove the rubber keypad and clean it in the sink using hot water. Just make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in the phone. 3) Peel the bottom brown liner off the spacer (side marked with red) and apply to the circuit board. Center the spacer as best you can. If not lined up properly the spacer can be removed and re-applied. 4) Remove the top brown liner from the spacer and stick down the black conductor layer writing side up. The conductor layer should be straight and flat after installation.
Make sure the black material does not contact any metal on the board or the microphone. Do not intentionally press down hard around the button areas causing indentations. It only needs to be tacked down enough to hold it in place. The rubber keypad will set and hold it in position permanently.
I do not have videos of every model because many are so similar anyway. This is the closest video for the product in this listing.
Membrane Keypads??
A membrane keypad is a keypad made from a thin membrane consisting of a spacer and conductor.
Membrane keypads are sometimes used alone but can also be under plastic or rubber keys. Some membrane keypads have snap domes to provide tactile feedback.
Does this really work?
YES! Thousands sold and installed Check my feedback!
I have been designing custom membrane keypads for over 20 years. When properly designed and installed correctly a membrane keypad will return your buttons to like new condition and last indefinitely.
Membrane keypads fix buttons that are dirty, worn down from use or gunked up with oil from the rubber pad.
Membrane keypads will not fix the following issues...
Button contacts damaged with metal tools
Buttons covered in glue
Rows of buttons that suddenly stop working Example: 3,6,9 and HOLD are suddenly and completely non-functional
Who Should Buy This?
You need to be comfortable taking apart your phone. It's not difficult but... you need to be patient and willing to follow directions!! If you are not going to take the time to watch my videos or follow each step of the simple instructions, then please find someone who will. You will not be happy with an improperly installed membrane keypad.
