Halloween is around the corner, but I don't think the ghosts are interested in my new Pi.
I setup a new RPI 500+ yesterday. All good, everything was working well.
The second time I used it today, the keyboard suddenly became unresponsive. Mouse was still fine, restarted via menu. Came back up, seemed okay for a minute, then in a terminal it just dumped 'qwerttttttttttttttttt' and kept repeating the t key, bascially keyboard locked up again. Rebooted once again, came back and keyboard seemed fine except the top row letters wouldn't work (q-p), but other letters and numbers fine, and then again, it dumped 'qwertttttttttttt' kept repeating the t. Unresponsive. Haven't had keyboard working for more than a minute in any attempt since.
I'm just running the default installed OS right now. I had setup Ubuntu on a SD card yesterday but haven't given that a try again today just yet. Anyone ran into this, any ideas?
EDIT: Not specific to the base RPI OS on the builtin storage. Can't even login to Ubuntu on the SD card as the top row isn't working right off the bat.
