Q: Some keys not working on Apple Keyboard A1243
I have an Apple Keyboard that's been working fine for years, but it now has developed some very strange behaviour.
The following keys stopped working:
- Esc
- Right Shift
- Up key
- 4, 5, 6 on numpad
- + on numpad
These keys all work again when holding down the numpad +.
I am not sure how an Apple Keyboard technically works, but it seems the numpad + is defective and taking a couple of other seemingly random keys down.
Note: intermittently the keyboard will send a repeated string of '++++++++++' even though the + key is not depressed.
There clearly is a problem with the numpad + and I have both searched Google and this board for tips, but have not found an answer. Any tips are more than welcome!
Apple Keyboard, Model A1243
