Hello,
I have an Apple A1048 keyboard. I have a issue where the right arrow key, the numpad 0, 1, 2, 3, . and enter key doesn't work. I opened the keyboard there are 2 broken traces 1 between the down arrow key and right arrow key and 2 between the right arrow key and numpad 0 key. I checked if there continuity and there none at the 2 traces. I tried to fix it with a silver pen (not a conductive pen) and it doesn't work (I thought the silver pen was conductive). I cleaned the ink with 99% isopropyl alcohol and this happened.
The trace and a contact pad wiped off with the ink. In image 1, I highlighted the wiped off contact pad with blue and a contact pad with golden thing surrounding the contact pad with teal. Can the trace and the contact pad be fixed with a conductive pen?
