Right Option Key not working (Macbook Pro A1398)

[lctrbrt]

Hi,

have a Macbook Pro in front of me where the right option key isnt working. Changed the Keyboard/Topcase and the new one doesn't works, too.


In the schematics it only shows a Left_Option_Key line so is the right option key even supposed to work on this model?

Can anybody give me a hint what the problem should be?

Thanks in advance

How are you testing the RIGHT OPTION key ?

Attempting to perform the SMC reset via keyboard keypress ?

That is not possible as there is a hardware logic block (see attached) that is looking specifically for the LEFT side OPTION key and others to be pressed to perform the SMC reset. RIGHT OPTION key cannot be used for this purpose.
