  Jeff,

        You're doing just fine. I service cordless phones - the
        proceedure I use is to spray a paper towel with CONTACT CLEANER
        (alcohol has some oils in it) and rub the keys on it. The fact
        that you get several 1's indicates it does work.

        You might test for cracks by powering up the phone while the
        keypad is apart and jumping across the 1s contacts with a
        screwdriver. Keypads aren't too expensive. What brand/model. I
        might have one in stock.
