Keyboard is cum free, also used a keyboard cleaner under keys to no avail

If its a line like that I'd be inclined to say its a track on the PCB for the keyboard thats perhaps gone high resitance. What model laptop is it? Replacement keyboards are fairly cheap these days and are usually only 4 or 5 screws to swap out.

Cheers Dave, ordered new keyboard

Easy to replace usually. Use YouTube if unsure. Usually couple screws and pop up just be careful of the ribbon cable and the flimsy suicide clips
