Hi,

Having changed the keyboard six times, you might consider that the keyboard
controller has blown ( or a component in its closest proximity ). They keyboard
controller ( for PC like motherboards ) would be a ( 40 pin ? ) chip sitting
close to the keyboard connector. Try getting another one like it and exchange them.

Might help... :)
