Apple iie Keyboard

Hi, I recently bought an Apple iie and it had a couple keys that weren't working. I verifies the switches were dead by testing with a multimeter. I ordered new ones and now i have even more keys that aren't woring after replacing the two bad ones. Is there a chance I messed up the board or something?

This usually happens when the keys are not working, because they are simply dirty. By having the keyboard upside down, more of them had their dirt inside shifted and now blocking the contacts. This is why you should always clean them with contact spray before replacing them.
