Lately I've been having problems with my Mega's keyboard.  More specifically,
the 'e', '1' and 'q' keys do not want to respond to a keypress and have to
be coaxed (by repeated pressing) into giving me a character.  Is there any
good solution to this problem short of replacing the offending keyswitch?
(assuming that's the problem and not some odd chip in the keyboard).  This
is driving me nuts, especially the 'e' key!  I took apart the keyboard, but
can't get to the internals of the switch, short of unsoldering and removing
it from the PC board.  Has anybody had this particular problem?
