I agree with Joost. Things like this are almost always due to a dirty |
| 4 |
keyboard. Carefully take it apart, and give it a thorough cleaning. |

In my experience cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol are your friends. |

If you need a stronger cleaner, or one that needs/has water, remove the PCB(s) |
| 8 |
and electronics first. Here's a guide on cleaning Model Ms specifically. |

If the problem continues to occur, the next thing to check is probably the |
| 12 |
cable; make sure it's not frayed and in otherwise good condition. You can use |
| 13 |
a multimeter on resistance or continuity mode to check the continuity of the |
| 14 |
conductors (none of them are broken), and make sure none of the conductors are |
| 15 |
shorting/jumping to the others. |

Hope this helps! |
