Nope ! Really easy ! Go get yourself some "Dotite" ...ok, if you know
where to get Dotite, tell me. More seriously, if you cant find
Dotite, go to an autoparts store and get some "Loctite" which is used
to repair the defogging traces on your cars windshields.
Now, using a voltmeter (set on resistance), find exactly where the
break occurs on one of the mylar sheets (I recommend you take the
whole thing apart at that point). Use the Loctite to make a
connection over the dead spot (also be sure not to knock the CAPS
LOCK LED off, its really easy to do, but if you do, knock it off,
dont panic - I knocked one off and I replaced it with a red LED).
Done ! Should be working at that point.
now, if you cant find a dead spot, it may be something else.

Rev F keyboard was the last revision of the Duo keyboards. Check
Ebay, they seem to go ~$30.
