Hey all, I have a mid-2010 15 inch MBP running Mavericks and for the past few weeks, certain keys have only been working intermittently.

It started with just the I key and now affects the T Y U I and O keys, where they won't respond for anywhere from 1 to 30 seconds. Restarting the computer or running more / less software doesn't seem to affect the problem. I've tried resetting the PRAM several times and pulled up the affected keys to clean underneath them. No liquids have been spilled on the keyboard.

I've googled around for this problem and haven't found anything similar, everything seems to be about keys that just stop functioning entirely. Unfortunately I live in a country that only has a few authorized technicians and getting replacement parts, even ordering them, is impossible.

Thanks for your help.
