Daily Life of Trash Guys Part 1: ​The Fun of Trash Guys: A Hard Renovation!

A few nights ago, in a second-hand group, I saw someone hanging a broken keyboard. Everyone probably thought it was not in good condition, and no one asked for the price. I went up and asked him, 10 yuan can't be paid out, and this brother probably was really unhappy with it, so he agreed.

In the morning of the next day, I went to hand it in offline in a hurry, and took a photo of it when I got it. It was extremely dirty. But fortunately, we had the foresight and brought gloves.

Hair, water stains, oil stains...

The first thing I did when I went back was to remove all the keycaps and throw them in the trash. They were really dirty to death, with all kinds of organic stains on them. Then there are all kinds of things on the top and bottom of the cover. Take a shoe brush and add laundry detergent, and brush it for a minute or two before I feel that it is a pass. Finally, the shell was brushed again, and the appearance renovation was completed at the beginning.

After that, remove the moisture on the shaft body and PCB. The most basic thing is to shake it first and then pat it. It lasted for about half an hour. I feel that it is almost done. Put it in a ventilated place to dry. During this interval, the cover plate was carefully cleaned again: the place where the color was not correct was wiped vigorously with alcohol, and finally the color was basically uniform.

A day later, the pre-ordered keycaps also arrived. When I installed it, I found that the layout of this keyboard is a bit weird, and some keys don't fit very well. So I temporarily found a file from the second-hand group, polished the keycap severely, and then used the ancestral vise to violently modify the satellite shaft seat, and finally the installation was completed. Plug in the computer and turn it on, and go through the button test. After twists and turns, the refurbishment is finally announced.

Could a front-to-back comparison be a keyboard?

The basic situation of the current keyboard is that part of the shaft body has not completely removed the moisture, which has caused the gold fingers in the shaft to oxidize, and the power on and off signals are not very good. This will require me to disassemble the shaft body to derust and polish the metal sheet. The current temporary solution is to drop some weak electrolyte into the shaft to help the connection. Other lamp beads, combination keys, etc. are very good, and the green switch of the miscellaneous brand is very popular among roommates. Compared with the same model sold on Xianyu, mine has the advantage of custom keycaps while maintaining a low price and normal functions, which is very superior.

Keyboard basic information: HP GK100, cable, green switch, monochromatic light. The original price on Taobao is about 100 yuan. The total cost of this operation is 43.5 yuan.
