failing kybd? or - hopefully - something else??

Post by williemyers »

hi all,
I've got a Macbook Pro (8,2 late 2011) and suddenly ( and *occasionally*) the keys "S, D, F, G, H, J, K, and L" will stop responding to repeated strikes. Even "Keyboard Viewer" can't see them.
I'm guessing it's a "going-defective" keyboard, but hoping that it might be somehow software-related?
btw, no spills....
thanks for any suggestions?
