I have never taken an M2-style IBM apart.

Is there anything along the line of a bolt-mod that can be done to these?
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

No.  M2 style are a pita.  plastic tabs hold everything in place.  Sucks to take apart and put back together.  It is all plastic. Under the barrel plate is just the rubber sheet followed by the matrix and bottom half of the keyboard.  No experience on the m15 but if it is the same as the m2 should be the same.  Sounds like a broken trace on matrix. or a loose connection to the controller.  Both should be easy fixes.
