    Welcome to nbr,

    The problem could be one of two things:
    1) the keyboard is really dirty, and their is some kind of sticky substance under the keys, making the keys become a bit unresponsive and such
    2) the keyboard firmware needs to be upgraded.

    the only plausible solution is to buy another laptop keyboard:
    I mention this site only because they give you part numbers to look for, obviously they charge a bit though.

    These keyboards have the same part number and a much lower price tag:
