Problem: Pinephone keyboard key presses not registering
#1
Hello everyone,

Anyone else having problems with key presses registering?  I first noticed it with the backspace/delete button.  I press the button and it doesn't work every time.  It seems out of the keyboard rows, only the top row has this problem.  Here is an example, from the bottom row to the top row I will press a key ten times, here is the result:

[[[[[[[[[[  (10 registered, that's good) Smile
mmmmmmmmmm (another 10 registered)
hhhhhhhhhh (another 10, nothing missed)
tttttttttt (10 again)
5555555 (7 times, three keypresses missed)

Other keys from the top row:

00000 (only half registered)
444444 (6 out of 10 registered).

Is there any easy fix I can do for this at home?  I really don't want to have to return it but I only have a 30 day window to do so.  Is super annoying as my password is made up of numbers for the initial log in screen when Mobian boots up.  When I'm in a terminal entering my password, I can't see the numbers that aren't registering so am getting the password wrong all the time.

Edit: I have just read the important thread about making the top row keys easier to press. I could live with this: it's the key presses not registering at all which is the problem.
