This sounds like a not uncommon problem with modern keypads

and micro-switches : contact corrosion or wear. I have disassembled keypads and microswitches and gently cleaned the carbon-coated and PCB areas with contact-cleaner and sometimes stroked the contact areas with a very soft lead pencil. It usually works - but not for a day longer than ever... WD-40 is not indicated, it will loosen up mechanical sludge, but more likely do the opposite to contact areas - it is o i l -based ! Where WD40 has been applied, a re-do with switch-cleaner or other alcohol-based cleaner might be indicated - but only for the brave or initiated. (Don't waste best Scottish beverage on the attempt - you might need it for yourself...) Michael UK
