FX505DT repeating 'stuck' keys

Sentreal

I've had my FX505DT for a couple of years now, and it has performed reasonably well.

I currently dual-boot Fedora and Windows 11, on two different drives, and have upgraded to 16GB RAM. I did this not long after purchasing the device.

Recently, certain keys on the keyboard seem to work okay when I first turn the machine on. Then later they're patchy. So the letter 'n', for instance, will sometimes work, will sometimes not work, and then — usually after this latter occurrence — will input more than one instance of the character.

This has spread slowly throughout the keyboard and sometimes, bizarrely, affects only capital letters where I attempt to input them with the Shift key.

The problem persists across operating systems.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Open the computer and remove the CMOS and system batteries.

After removing the batteries, press the power button for about 1 minute.

Reinsert the battery, reassemble the computer and start it up regularly.
Enter the Bios, readjust all settings and save them.

The keyboard should now work properly


Here is a video on how to open the computer, keeping in mind that if you open it under warranty, you will lose it.
