Which Amiga-model do you have?
If it's one of the small ones (A500, A600, or A1200), then the ribbon cable might be loose.

a500.

Open the computer and remove the keyboard.
There is a small PCB on it, and there is a ribbon cable between that and the actual keyboard (IIRC).
Check that the cable is properly seated, and without breaks. Also check for damages on the actual PCB; those chips doesn't get hot, but on computers as old as the A500, chip-creep does happen, and if there are any socketed ships they might be loose.
