Introduction

The circuit board collects all the power from the keyboard. If the battery area has been damaged, repair to the connection circuit board may be needed. This repair may be needed if the device will not turn on after cleaning the battery area and replacing the batteries.

Soldering knowledge is needed. If you are unfamiliar with soldering, take a look at this soldering guide for more information.

Use caution while soldering not to burn yourself or your surroundings.
