I have a little pocket organiser (Canon DM-320 $10 at the Post Office (many) years ago, no expense spared when I'm looking after Number One). Unfortunately, I've become rather addicted to it.
So when the button that tells me the time began to fail, I carefully prised the casing apart and inspected. There's a little pad that connects to a section on the circuit board when you press it. The conducting material has worn away to the extent that pressing the pad makes no odds. The original conducting material (carbon?) looks like it was impregnated into the pad. I could probably paint some conducting material over the face of the pad using a dinky brush. But what? Is there such a thing a liquid carbon? I'm not sure what the common-or-garden pencil uses these days. Any suggestions will be carefully considered. Uh, please eschew the cracks about cheapness. I have great affection for that little dooflang. The breed is now well and truly extinct, with the exception of a solitary specimen that used to sit in my top pocket...
