Have you tried reseating the keyboard cable into its motherboard header?

Keyboard membrane is knackered at some point.

 If you are skilled enough, using a sharp scalpel and some conductive ink you can restore your keyboard.

 If not enough skills, buy a replacement from Amigakit or Ebay.
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

I have now......, pulled it out, ripped the KB apart, cleaned the Graphite contacts on the Membrane with ISO, put it back together, fixed :)

Disassemble completely and clean the 'print-foil' with demin-water. Can be done in 5minutes.
