Please see the teardown I did on this keyboard and you will better understand why it is unrepairable: Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1255) Teardown

I don't know what damage this bluetooth AZERTY KYBD that was given to me had (probably liquid), but the :
WXCVBN, and left command keys were not working.
Hung it out to dry, punched a little harder on these lower keys, and, especially,
'''carefully cleaned the flatcable at the receptor end with isopropanol (IPA).
'''bold text''
Lo and behold, coming to you from this KYBD!
Good luck to you! Hammer away, I'dsay.

I've seen this at the school that I work at and it was liquid damage. We didn't fix it but you could open it up and check for corrosion. maybe clean it up with some alcohol...

ive done that before but this is entire row
prob 4 yr old
time to replace i suppose
I removed the plastic cover to reveal the electronic board, then removed and reinstalled the ribbon cable. First attempt resulted in a different row of keys not working. My last attempt realigned the contacts and my keys are all fine. Did not have to destroy the keyboard.
@tangolima could you elaborate on your fix ? Maybe a picture ? how did you realign the contacts ? Was it easy to reinstate the ribbon ?
