Troubleshooting • Raspberry Pi Keyboard (RPI-KYB) - "6", "q", "w", "e", "r", "u", "i", "o", "p" keys not working

I’m experiencing an issue with my Raspberry Pi keyboard (model RPI-KYB). It’s a wired keyboard, and it’s being detected properly by the system, but several keys are not working as expected.

Specifically, the following keys do not register any input:

'6' 'q' 'w' 'e' 'r' 'u' 'i' 'o' 'p'

Rest of the keys are working as expected.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

• Keymap check using xmodmap -pke: The keys in question are properly mapped in the keymap output. No issues were found there.

• Testing with xev: I ran xev to check if key events are being detected for these keys, but no events were registered when pressing
  the problematic keys.

• Resetting key mappings: I attempted to reset the key mappings using xmodmap -e "reset", but the issue persists.

• Testing on a different system: I plugged the keyboard into another computer, and the same keys don’t work, suggesting that the issue is
  likely with the keyboard itself.

Additional Information:

The keyboard works fine on other keys, just the mentioned keys are unresponsive

The keyboard is detected by the system as:
OS
The issue appears to be hardware-related, but I want to rule out any software or configuration issues before replacing the keyboard.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with an RPI-KYB keyboard or a similar setup? Any suggestions on further troubleshooting steps or potential fixes would be greatly appreciated!
