Keyboard (Six) Key stopped working!

Hello everyone!

My (Six) key (non-numpad) stopped working. I've opened the notebook, checked cables and everything is alright, I guess.

Here's the thing... When I boot up, pressing the (six) key, it works for a while, although not perfectly, and then stops working!

I assumed it could be an OS problem, but its the same in Windows, Ubuntu, and even in BIOS, setting a password.

All other keys work perfectly except that one.

My notebook is an LG P310.

Any ideias where could be the problem?

Thank You!

Sounded very much like a failing keyboard. External keyboard works ok?

cheers ...

Take the keyboard out and try cleaning it again, but I personally feel that the keyboard is about to totally quit on you

cheers ...

I installed SharpKeys 2 .
If I press the 5 key, the program maps 00_06. If I press the (six) key, no response... But if I simultaneously press 5 key and (six) key, the program maps E0_3F06, which I can conclude that the physical button of the key its functional! What could be the problem? This keyboard only has a ribbon cable attached to the motherboard, I think the "mapping" of the keys are made on the motherboard, what makes me think, if I buy a new keyboard the problem probably won't be resolved.

Sorry if my english isn't good.

The circuitry inside the keyboard is going haywire, mixing and sending wrong signals to the board. Yes - there is a chance that the keyboard connector on the board might be bad, sadly the only way to verify, for me anyway, is to try with another working keyboard.
