Certain Keys Stop Working Together Then Begin To Work Again Macbook Pro 15 Retina Display Mid 2014

Chosen Solution

I’ve had this problem for approximately a year now. Certain keys on the keyboard stop working. The backspace key, F1, 1, Q, F11, F12 All these keys stop working together. Never by themselves. Sometimes the fault lasts for a minute. Then spontaneously resolves. Sometimes for hours - so I’ve resorted to using a plug-in USB keyboard for the past year instead.

I was wondering if this was a common problem? Any advise is greatly appreciated
