    Had similar issues with another netbook model. Started when the weather got really hot and humid around here last week. Some keys didn't work at all while others didn't work as they should (eg double characters, pressing c yielded cv, b yielded bn, etc). External USB keyboard worked fine. The problem? Hygroscopic debris (food particles, hair, dust, and whatnot) trapped under the keys and keyboard in and around the ribbon connector to the mainboard. The remedy? A softbristle brush, vacuum cleaner (sucking and blowing). Drier weather conditions helped too. 8^)
