Finally fixing the keyboard. In this vid I'll teardown, clean the unit, and remake the cable with a neat home DIY coiling technique!

I am NOT an expert, I have genuinely NO idea what I'm doing, and mostly just glue things together and use a lot of Google-fu until stuff works. I've been tinkering with electronics since I was a kid but have no formal training and will probably do things incorrectly. If you learn something from this, that's awesome, but trust me - I'm learning too!
