Amiga 4000. Faulty keyboards?

[PIETRO]

Hi everyone,
the keyboard of my Amiga 4000 has recently started acting kind of weird.
Sometimes it displays random characters, i.e. I am typing "hello", it shows "he2llo".
Sometimes it keeps on displaying a single character like this "eeeeeeeeee" and it stops only when I press another key.
It started neary unnoticeable but it is getting worse.
Many keys of the numpad stopped working a long ago.
It happens regardless the Amiga is cold or warm.
Computer already recapped and no leaking from the clock battery that had been removed in time.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards
Pietro Bisanti

Keyboard clean? E.g inside and between the keycaps?

You may have an issue with the keyboard membrane or some of the pads have dirtied up. Either way, time to unleash the screwdriver and have a look inside and give the keyboard a good cleaning.

Thank you very much. I have already done it.... Now it is perfectly clean but I think it must be something else...
