Another method of repairing the xe keyboard.
 
I had a much worse problem. A whole 8 Oz. Glass of water was dumped into
the keyboard. The foil traces were all but destroyed.
I Used REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER Repair, a conductive paint that you can get
at most Auto Parts stores. It was a job, but it did work.
 
There are other Conductive paints on the market, which may even work better.
