Keyboard numbers intermittently not operating

[DarinS1]

I cannot get the number keys on my X360 to operate reliably. Either shift or regular numbers are the same. A hard or long keypress will sometimes get the key to be recognized, but not always. The 6 7 - and= keys always seem to work  I have turned off and restarted, deleted the keyboard driver and reinstalled. The keys operated for a brief period after driver reinstallation, then quit again. right now, for instance, all keys seem to operate normally, but when i restarted, i could not type in the password. When I flip to tablet mode, the touch screen works admirably.
