Post Body

I have an early 2015 13" MacBook Air, and a while ago my w key began to malfunction. Normally it doesn't respond to presses. It occasionally just spams ws, especially upon turning it on. I have taken it to an Apple store and there's apparently no hardware issue with it, and they say to replace it would cost around 400 dollars. I don't want to spend that type of money at all. Is there any way to rectify this outside of an external keyboard? I've performed a ton of PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has changed. I don't know what to do, with the computer like this I might not be able to sell it...
