The keyboard talk in another thread reminded me that I had a damaged keyboard sitting in its boxed. A relative spilled something onto the keys years ago and I slipped and yanked the whole switch when attempting to open it. I think it looks like a fairly clean break and that I should be able to remove the solder and solder on a replacement? Aside from the switch for P it's functional. I'd appreciate further input please.

Re: Keyboard PCB Damage
Looks like a super easy fix.
New switch, desolder and remove the partial pins left in the PCB, and solder down the new one. Should be cake.
