Some keyboard keys do not work

I have a problem with the keyboard on my laptop.

The following keys do not work:

3,e,d,c
note: these keys are diagonally in a row,

I’m not sure if that means it is is problem with the keyboard itself , or the controller.

Any idea ?

I’ve managed to remove and refit the keyboard and he problem persists, so it isn’t just a loose connection.

I’ve seen this problem before. When keys seated diagonally in a row stop working, most likely it is the keyboard related problem.

    10 of my Acer Laptop keys are not working. I suspect I’m the culprit here. I was cleaning my laptop keys with a damp paper towel and I suspect it was more wet then damp.and somehow dripped down to the keys. All all the left side.Never had a problem like this before. I’m not even sure this is the problem. The keys worked fine this morning, now it its evening, and they are not functional.
    Thank You

    I have also come across this problem in the past as well. After cleaning out the dirt that wasn’t there, I finally removed the keyboard driver from the device manager and had it replace the one on my computer and now it seems to be working. We shall see, as it was always an intermitin problem

    Howdy…I’ve noticed, twice now, that the “e” and “l” key wouldn’t work. It was as though the key was bad–rather new keyboard, but computer has appeared to be “wonky”, not working well. “Cursor arrow” has oddly “locked-up” and refused to work at all. Replaced keyboard, but, now this “e” and “l” thing. Randomly, and after a few minutes of pressing keys, they seem to decide to work again. Odd, hunh? Got any ideas? Odd virus or “command”? Random, as in days at a time-apart “occurances.” Intermittant, etc. Thanks, e-mail an answer back, please? (comp guys say I’m just annoying them.)
