  yes, but it also may indicate a poor connection or a
bad cable so perhaps checking that is a good idea.

  in the past i have had keyboards that were designed 
with a plastic case which is not rigid enough to stand up
to my use case (on my lap, unsupported at either end),
after a few years both of them developed the same
intermittent failure where the connection ribbin inside
the keyboard was losing a firm contact.  which was too
bad since i liked those keyboards otherwise (i still have
them but have never figured out how to repair them and
they're not worth sending back to be repaired).
