    scratch off the mask and solder on a wire bridge. re- coat (lacquer, spray paint, whatever works for you).
    i found this to be much more reliable than the ink (you mean the epoxy/silver mix, right?)

      Laptop external keyboard?
      by Hondaman
      Can I use an external keyboard with a modern (as of this post) laptop from, say, Dell?

      I am worried about durability because I am a cheap, frugal person. I suspect an external keyboard would extend the life of the laptop. I have always been a desktop person, since my AMD 386DX-40, and I really don't know about laptops (though the current Dell products look like they are fanless, which eliminates a big failure point).

      (Also I prefer the "clicking" "Unicomp" keyboard, which is still made an hour or two away from me in Lexington KY, using the same equipment...

      1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

      2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
