Some keys on toshiba keyboard stopped working

[Mrjelly]

The a, b, n, and l button stopped working all of a sudden. I tried to turn off all the power and holding the on/key for 1 minute, also tried to fix it using the sticky key method by turning it off. It worked for a few minutes then the buttons stopped working again. Help?

UPDATE: everytime I click w or 2, I get w2 everytime. Also I think the e is directly connected to CTRL or ALT because it kind of refreshes on google chrome or when it's on word it opens the 'find and replace' box.

UPDATE; The onscreen keyboard works fine.

Has anything been spilt on it? This sounds like pretty typical symptoms of residue on the keyboard contacts.

Nothing spilt on it

k gives me ki
o gives me lo

w gives me w2

Could it be the keyboard ribbon?

Could be - you could try removing and reconnecting both ends of it.
