One function pad reading held

Reboot at the breaker for a minute to shed a momentary false read
Firmly work each pad and note the one function that no longer springs back cleanly
Swab the edges of the sticking pad with a barely-damp cloth to lift greasy film
Unplug the keypanel ribbon; a fault that clears with it out confirms the overlay membrane
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Where the general stuck-key fault points at any pad, this one calls out a specific function pad that is jamming. Notice which function you used last — that patch of the membrane is usually the one delaminating and holding itself down.
