The 9,O,-. keys doesn't work

The 9,O,-. keys - they work for a short time when the MacBook is turned on and then stop working. Even if I put the MacBook to sleep and then wake it up, they don't work. If I completely shut it down and then turn it back on, they work again for a short time. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it? It's a MacBook Pro 2022.


Could anyone help me with this issue?

You can use the keyboard viewer to see if they are registering...

Use the Keyboard Viewer on Mac


note: issues with single keys, keys associated on the diagonal, or keys associated in horizontal row

typically indicates a hardware issue...


cracked circuit traces can be intermittent and heat can open/close these faults


A work a round is use a external keyboard and compare your results.



keyboards are replaced not repaired; this would be a top case replacement which can include the trackpad/keyboard/battery


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
