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?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
