I recently bought a second hand Gigabyte Stealth gaming keyboard, model number GK-FORCE K7 and from time to time some of the keys, like 't', 'backspace' and other keys do not work. The odd thing is when I plug in the keyboard the '4' key is stroking without me doing anything.

I am using Windows 10 but tried the keyboard on different OS's with the same results. Opened the keyboard tested the control board for voltages, faulty parts, traces and connectors with no bad one's found. The main IC is HT82A525R and EEPROM chip is T24C02A.

I am trying to reprogram the EEPROM as soon as I will get the code and see what will happen.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I have cleaned the coffee out of several keyboards. Just give them a day or 2 to dry after you rinse the soap out.
If you pop all the keys off, remember where they go!:D

Sounds like sugary drink spillage to me, get it stripped down and clean it with switch cleaner or other alcohol based liquid.
