Sounds like somebody spilled something on it. Get a new keyboard.

I agree with JRios--your keyboard has a bad connection in there somewhere. They're cheap enough. Get a new one.

Get a number 2 pencil with standard eraser on top {the one on the pencil} and start tapping the keys and those near it about 50 times and see it that helps. Also good for tough tone phones.

You can get a new keyboard for $10, a used one for $1 or less at a garage sale.

Grasp the keyboard at the top (above the function keys). Turn it over and holding it at 45 degree angle, sharply tap the bottom of the keyboard casing (near the space bar) against the desk about ten times. You will see all kinds of junk come out. Clean that up, then test the keys again.

With perfectly functional keyboards going for around 10 bucks, it hardly seems that this "problem" is worth much aggravation and time.
Unless it's hard-wired to the computer...

Get this:
Sick of living in the post-industrial present? Long for an alternate universe where steam trumps electricity? Well, unfortunately, while we can't offer you a complete transfer from the land of "the now" into a steampunk universe, we can show you a way to make it feel like Queen Victoria and the era she represented lasted until the ripe old age of 170. Full instructions for how to convert a 1980s era "clicky" IBM keyboard into an input device that would look at home in a movie adaptation of a Jules Verne novel are available on The Steampunk Workshop: just add a steampunk laptop and you're set. Honestly, if there was one keyboard that could give the Optimus 103 a run for its money in a "coolness" face-off, this would be it. Then again, we always were suckers for mixing retro with modern.

Well, thank God it wasn't the ctrl, alt and delete keys. :) I was really worried for you for a second.
