Troubleshooting

Common repair‑relevant faults include non‑responsive or sticking keys (worn/damaged switches), backlight or LED failure, and intermittent USB/passthrough connectivity often caused by cable damage or loose solder joints. Diagnose by removing keycaps to test individual switches, testing on a known‑good USB port/cable, verifying passthrough functionality, and opening the case to inspect cable connectors and solder joints; switch replacement requires desoldering and resoldering.
