Computer only starts/stays on if keyboard key (any) is held down>

I have a 2010 macbook pro here, computer immediately will shut off unless a key, any key, is held on the keyboard. Operates fine other than this issue? Anyone have any insight or at least having the same issue as me? I searched google and found only two people ask about this, nobody had any good answers.

My first guess would be the keyboard to logic board cable. Pressing down on the keyboard helps it connect to the socket, particularly keys right in the middle. See step #10 of this guide: MacBook Pro 17" Models A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261 Upper Case Replacement
