Here's a quick video on how to install Flatpaks in Chrome OS. Flatpaks are a way for developers to distribute self contained application, without worrying about dependencies, runtime or the Linux distribution. This means that a change in another application installation will not affect other applications.
Commands to type in a Linux Terminal:
sudo apt-get install flatpak
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

I'm going through the process of me fixing dead keys on an Akai MPK Mini Keyboard. I plan to use this keyboard to help me compose an original intro song for the channel. Here's a quick run down of what I did.
-Opened up the keyboard
-Clean the PCB contacts for the keys. I used a cotton swab dipped in 90-100% Isopropyl alcohol
-Dried out the keyboard
-Reassembled it.
Hope you find this video helpful
