The q-p row on my MBP is getting flakey. Unless I press really hard, he
e, r, t & i keys, in paticular, may not work. I took a key out to se if
it could be cleaned, but the sensor sems to be sealed.
I am hesiant to go to the Apple store without som background information.

You probably need to replace the entire upper case, which is rather
expensive and will incur labor charges as well since it's pretty
involved:

You might consider the economics of replacing the computer instead.

Also keep in mind the timing: the 15-inch Mid 2012 rMBP was discontinued
more than five years ago (February 2013) so is on the verge of being classified as "vintage" by Apple. It is not on the list yet.

Wow, iPhone 4S is not obsolete to Apple? I am surprised by that since
Apple stopped updating its iOS for years.
