How can I fix my “D” key that sometimes isn’t responding when I click on it?

My mechanical keyborad is brand new so I cannot find where the culprit is. How I fix the key?

You will have to replace the key which may require resoldering the entire key to the keyboard PCB. Some of the old Cherry key switches had replaceable internals. Haven’t seen Cherry keys in a long time.

If it is new then there should be a warranty probably 90 days. Contact the manufacturers customer service and ask for an RMA. Some companies will send the replacement out first and have you box up the old one and return it in the box the replacement came in.

Which soldering iron tip should I use?

All of the soldering I’ve done to this point has been with through-hole components. I hope to move up to some smaller surface-mount parts at some point in the future. I’ve got a Weller WES51 soldering station. There is a large number of ET series tips available. How do I choose the right tip for the components I’ll be working with?

How can I fix the PCB to the mechanical structure?

I designed a PCB with an imaging sensor that is mechanically coupled to a lens assembly using four 2-56 screws. I’m noticing that even though the screws are holding the board tightly against the mechanical structure if I flick or lightly knock the the assembly the image “moves”. I’m hoping to get a few suggestions for ways to fix the PCB to the mechanical structure. Any suggestions for adhesives or the like? Something else?

Why are there teardrops on PCB pads?

I received the PCB design file from supplier. There are some teardrops, which I have seldom seen. Why are there teardrops on the PCB design?
