Sound hard to beleive, considering graphite is conductive. I would think it
would short things out?

I was having problems with the keypad on several older programmable
scanners
(Pro 43 & 26) and found this great fix called Lub-a-Spray made by Panef
for
$1.75 at the local hardware store. All I did was remove the case, remove
the rubber keypad, lay it on a paper plate with the underside face up and
squirt this dry graphite lube into all the open spots with the applicator,
shake the loose material off, place back in the scanner and it works like
new. Be very careful with this stuff, as it's quite messy, but it works
great.
Would 8 bucks kill them, after all you have to take it apart to get to
the pad anyway. Why not fix it right? I don't think anything like
graphite is a smart long run solution. But what do I know, I actually
replace the keypad...
