I have a 2011 MBA 13" 4GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
For the past few months, the top row of letters, from "Q" to "O", work intermittently or not at all. Four of the five vowels (e, i, o, u) are on the top row, so the buttons get a lot of use and it is infuriating when they give up.
Sometimes I type and the letters come out as expected. Often these days, I type and nothing at all appears on the screen. Other times, the letters come out but not in the order I typed.
This leads me to suspect that this is a software rather than a hardware issue, but I'm not sure.
I'm aware of the recent butterfly keyboard issues but I'm surprised that something similar is happening to a 2011 machine.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can they shed light on what's happening here?
Thanks.
