Utterly weird keyboard issue

[Howitz]

Y510P lenovo laptop keyboard.

 

It all started when I 1st I noticed the keyboard left and right shift keys worked weird, did'nt respond half the time.

 

Then they simply stop working, i press shift but it doesnt do caps or @ or wathever, just no response.

 

So i proceed to removing the keyboard from the laptop, cleaning it up, cleaning the connectors and reconnecting it, closing up the laptop. Everything works fine and i am happy.

 

Then out of nowhere after i tought i had it fixed, the keyboard start doing weird stuff again with shift keys, for instance all keys will work with shift to make capital letters but t and y and other random crap like that, it would go like ERtyUI. and it stops working the day after.

 

Some of the other symptoms I noticed are that I had to press shift a couple times before it catch up and start working for like 10-20 seconds before failing again. repeat cycle style.

 

Okay so after that i try to fix for the second time, open up the laptop, make sure the keyboard connections are fine, reconnect them and i apply tape to maintain them in place in case the plastic pins are not enough and if they somehow come lose. once again it fixes it... but not for long.

 

So i am bored of this crap and try to learn life without shift keys, when suddenly i am on steam with a friend and tell him about the issue, type random letters while holding shift so he can see they are not capital letters when suddenly i see some capital letters in the bunch. like hsldGdHdasdgKgdalT. And the more i do it, the more capital letters there is. and then WOAW it seems like it fixed itself for absolutely no fricking reason.

 

So i come to you with this haunted hardware worthy story. tell me what you think because right now i am seriously mind boggled about what is causing the issue...

 

(this is happening over months)

Anyone?

Try to reinstall windows maybe? If that doesn't work then the keyboard is broken and it needs to be replaced altogether

lol somehow it's working perfectly fine now, that's what's weird about it, it's constantly fluctuating between totally broken shift keys, half working shift keys, and perfectly working shift keys for absolutely no reason whatsoever...

It seems like the keyboard is broken then, replace it and you should be fine...
