This previous thread was marked as solved after I replaced the kbd connector because I thought that solved the issue.
When I put the machine back together and booted the OS again that same row stopped working then after about 10 seconds it started working again and after logging in I tested all the keys to see if they all worked but the whole top row of keys weren't working and would make that horn noise when I tried adjusting the brightness or volume.
After turning it on and off a few times I see more keys will randomly stop working such as the 'delete', - , 8, k, and other random keys.
When I booted with the OS that I have on a USB stick the brightness keys worked but other random keys didn't work also.
I followed some posts I saw on google about disabling mouse keys and slow keys but neither of them solved the issue.
I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
Update: I noticed the ground pin(32) on the connector was loose so I fixed it and soldered it correctly onto the board. Again I was able to login using the password which used the keys "cvb" but once I logged in and tested each key again that row of keys stopped working. The issue with the brightness keys is fixed. The reason they weren't working was because I wasn't holding fn key while pressing them.
