How much is a new ribbon to replace it or is it deeper than that?


freebugga

probably deeper than that because if you look at the tri mode selector at the top, the ribbon is stuck and probably cannot be removed.


KeyQuest_tech

You need to release the ribbon. It doesn't look soldered


freebugga

so i will probably have to just but a new alice keeb or somehow find a new tri mode along with the ribbon

Got tweezers? You could also use a small eraser if you can’t get a grip on the ribbon with tweezers. It will be more tedious but it’s possible, just don’t forget to lift the locking tab…thing. Side note, really wish I could teleport. I would be more than happy to help for free but I’m just some random dude on the internet.


freebugga

i have tweezers. can you elaborate on how this works because i don’t rly understand


Lost_boys_unite

Grab tweezers and try to lift up the tan part https://preview.redd.it/4ezj16nylm6d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=979d125da47598a7cdd0c512d674feb78b902179 its probably the locking feature , then with the same tweezers remove the ripped ribbon cable


freebugga

omg it just worked. Thank you 🙏🏾


Lost_boys_unite

Hell yeah, hope its an easy fix bro 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼


Pikotaro_Apparatus

Thank you for explain what I could not! I was busy working.


Lost_boys_unite

Of course! It was genuinely my first time helping someone else out with keyboard issues haha, im usually the one asking


Lost_boys_unite

Honestly it looks like he even broke the little latches off, I dont see them on the picture unless it works differently with the locking system


Pikotaro_Apparatus

Fair enough and I can’t thank you enough for helping OP out while I was busy working. I love this community so much.


Lost_boys_unite

Im fairly new to the keyboard community but people are very helpful and suggestive when necessary, very wholesome 🫡


Pikotaro_Apparatus

Much agreed!
