Dell by Logitech Wireless Keyboard Acting Up

I am having a problem with my Dell Logitech wireless keyboard that
came with my 4550. The arrow keys have stopped working. I changed
the batteries, but wondered if there is something I may have pushed to
turn them off. Everything else on the keyboard seems to be working
OK.

I have the same keyboard (came with my 4550) and there is nothing special
about the arrow keys.

Might just be something lodged underneath the keys. Pick up the keyboard
and tilt it towards you with the front edge aimed down. Rap it hard, a
couple times, against your desk

Shaked the junk out.

I tried that without success. I took the cover off and blew it out
with canned air, but still no go. The arrow keys are just dead. It's
a rubber membrane style of keyboard, so not too much can go wrong with
the keys. I could see dirt under one, but not all of them. Looks
like I better call Dell.
