I just replaced the tact switches on the arrow keys and the mode button on my 1K, and now my F1 - F6 buttons are acting weird. Every time I turn on, different F buttons aren't working properly. Right now it's F4-F6, but last night it was F2 + F5.

Did a decent job with the soldering and re-seated all the ribbons carefully, so the only thing I can think of is that maybe I broke the ribbon connecting the main PCB and the top PCB with the F buttons on when I was taking it apart, by pulling/stretching it too much.

Is it possible to get a replacement ribbon, repair it, or would I have to order the whole top PCB + ribbon from MPCstuff?

Any one got any ideas what else it could be?

Unplugged and re-connected the ribbon and sprayed with some contact cleaner and now it's working good.

All the buttons with new Alps tact switches feel so much better than the others, definitely going to order some more and replace them all!
