Yep, it's a problem with the hardware. You either need to have the keyboard repaired, replaced, or use a third party keyboard.

Okay, we've helped about all we can here. You need to take it to a repair shop or send it back to the manufacturer.

Last recourse. At your own risk. See if you can remove the keyboard. Be very careful. There is a thin cable you might break.

You an wash the keyboard in a mix of water, soap and alcohol.
Shake of the liquid. Let dry in a warm dry place for 24 hours.Do not put in oven. But a fan can help dry it.

Maybe it will work.

I suggest you do NOT follow the above advice and that you have it repaired or replaced by a professional.
