I've had an intermittent problem with the keys.
i cannot use
2 4 7 9 t ´ l (up) (page up) (page down)
however, if i press (page up)(page down) at the same time and then press another of he affected keys it prints something different
pressing (page up)+(page down)+2 gives me an x
(page up)+(page down)+(up) gives me a p
sometimes when i start tapping t and l in quick succession it works again for a while
as it is printing different characters i start to believe it's either in the software or i'll need to replace the keyboard.
 
Solution
Create a Linux Live boot disk, any is fine, I usually use Ubuntu. Boot off that and see if the keyboard works normally in that. If not, try a new keyboard. Can also test with an external keyboard, as long as it's not a stuck key, if the issue is the keyboard the external one will work fine.

Not the case, all other letters still work normally. I still have to tap T and L repeatedly so the actual letters print
