I had this happening with my keyboard. I got a new one that worked fine.
So, I carefully walked my way along the old keyboard cable and found a
spot, right where the plug is, that was the problem. There was probably
a strewn wire. I cut it and put a new DIN-8 plug on it and it's been
working fine since then.
