Lenovo Ideapad V330 volume keys get stucked on 19.04

  • 772

The volume function keys on my laptop get stucked. I press them once or twice, and the volume goes all the way up or down. Sometimes the keyboard even stops working for a few seconds after that.

I tried the solution offered in the post lenovo z470 keyboard gets stuck but it didn't helped.

Update: I am no longer having this problem after upgrading to 19.10 beta.
