Seeking conductive pen

[Amber]

Hi!  I am looking for something like this to repair the traces on the plastic circuit board of my keyboard.  Though I have not yet, I would love to find a place that sells them in town as they ain't cheap online.  Also, I'm not sure it would work.  Anybody know of a place I could get one in town, or someone who has one to lend?

Thanks!

Is soldering out of the question?  It's much easier and is likely to give closer performance to the original circuit board trace.

Someone on the chicago hackerspace list posted this tip, cant vouch for it, but it sounds like a good lead

"Auto parts store - used to repair the 'wire' that is painted on a rear window."

radioshack said no no no, will try auto parts store, have not tried graphite

Thanks!

It'll depend on which store you go to, the one on University carries most of the electronics parts:
