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.

Why did the SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards?

I am a buyer in a telecom company. Recently, an important order of SMT PCBA is delayed due to insophiscated production of a supplier. I am thinking about replace it and just very puzzled about how did their SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards. That slows down the whole process.

How can I mark diodes and LEDs on PCB to avoid confusion of Chinese PCB fab?

(On every board we submit a design for assembly, some designers may make PCB fab confused about the orientation of diodes or LEDs. And we had both Eagle’s default diodes and KiCad’s default diodes sent back from Chinese fab.)

Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?

Last week, I visit a PCBA manufacturer for our new project. They not only introduce in-circuit tester but also flying probe tester, which can both ensure the quality level. So, Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?
