I had a model 3 with keyboard issues. I banged (gently) on one of the
keys over and over, and eventually that key started to work.
I put a Rochester Dynatyper (box of solenoids that converts a typewriter
into a printer) on the keyboard, and dumped a lot of big text files to the
printer interface. After a few hours of "typing", the keyboard was
working satisfactorally.
