Hello again,

I got two of the keyboards I bought recently today and one of them is a G80-11800 (brown MX switches, trackball). It is used and dirty, but it was really cheap. The only problem is: It's defective (which the seller did not say! I'm mad! But on the other hand, it was really cheap, so it's not worth the hassle) and thus I need to repair it.

A picture is worth a thousand words, though, so this is my problem:

Is there anything to consider or take care of when repairing these boards? I'd trace the broken traces to the last solder pad and solder wires to the switches that currently don't work from there. Is there anything else you can recommend?
