Just a few days ago, the
5TGB-[ and fn
keys became unreliable and only worked every now and then, for about 10 secs then they would stop. If I bang my computer hard on the keyboard, it sometimes makes it work, but I don't want to have to do this every day. My computer is a Macbook 2,1 Mid 2007 White model. Does anyone have any explanation? I have seen similar threads on this with just 5, T, G and B but not with fn, - and [ .

Is the only way to fix this to get a new keyboard? I don't have AppleCare and my warranty expired 2 years ago.

PS: I am lucky to have written so many words without this happening.
