Macbook Pro keyboard backlight malfunctioning

I noticed that my keyboard backlight is malfunctioning. Sometimes they flicker or only some turn on, but they never light up all at the same time. This is the first time this has happened to me, keys work fine it's just the backlight.. I already tried turning it on and off but still nothing.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
