Until recently, my PBP was working absolutely fine. However when I turned it on the day, after some confusion I realized that some of the keys simply don't work. Quite a lot in fact. I'm using an external USB keyboard at the moment which does work. So far I've has no luck in diagnosing the problem or whether it's simply a hardware failure. The last thing I did before powering off was to do a full update on Manjaro but I find that hard to believe that would cause this, who knows.
Couple of points
1. I have the ANSI keyboard
2. I've tried booting archlinux from an SD card to check that it wasn't something in Manjaro. It exhibits the same behaviour
3. Tried re-flashing the keyboard firmware (only once) to see if something had gone awry there. No change
4. Popped the bottom of visually inspect the cables. As far as I can tell, everything looks connected properly
Is there anything I can do to confirm if it's a hardware, firmware or software issue? I'm I out of luck and the keyboard is toast?
Thanls.
