    hello steven

    it looks like they all line up in a row. 1st thing I would try is look in device manager. (dont think you will find anything)
    you could try a usb or a wireless keyboard.

    good luck

    PS: this may help if you need a new keybosrd

    Hello Friend,
    You can replace individual keys on your laptop keyboard. First of all, turn off the laptop, unplug the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Remove two screws in the battery compartment. These screws securing the keyboard bezel.
    watchfully lift up one side of the keyboard bezel with a screwdriver.
    Continue removing the keyboard bezel with your fingers. Be careful, there is a thin ribbon cable connecting the button board to the motherboard. The cable has to stay connected to the motherboard.
    Turn the keyboard bezel over. Make sure the cable is still connected.
    Remove two screws securing the keyboard.
    Lift up the keyboard.
    The keyboard is connected to the motherboard via a flat ribbon cable. Before you can remove the keyboard, you’ll have to unlock the connector and release the cable.
    Now the connector is unlocked and the cable can be released.
    Remove and change the damaged keyboard with a new keyboard.

    Thanks
    James
