Keyboard Issue with PBP - roblthegreat - 03-19-2020

I'm a new owner of an ANSI PBP (delivered late on Monday) and have used it maybe for 4 hours total.   I replaced the original Debian image on eMMC with Manjaro XFCE immediately upon first boot.

Today I noticed that the "X" key on the keyboard is not working.  I'm not certain if the key has ever worked, but at the moment it doesn't seem to register either in the GUI or on Linux console. I have confirmed the keyboard is configure for ANSI / US layout.

As far as I can tell, all of the other keys work as expected, with the exception of the X key. 

Has anyone else experienced similar?  I'm wanting to try to troubleshoot this in case it is an easy fix, if possible, before opening an official support ticket.

Ok, I think I have it mostly fixed. I had to "carefully" remove the key cap and the clip under it. Clean it good with some compressed air and now the key works about 95% of the time.
