Hello,
THERE'S A FEW KEYS ON MY LAPTOP KEYBOARD THAT JUST QUIT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN AND I DON'T KNOW WHY? THE KEYS ARE LETTERS Q,T,U,P,J, AND THE RIGHT ARROW KEY? HOW CAN I GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN?

What make/model keyboard is it? Is it mechanical or membrane? Has any liquid ever been spilt on it? Have you attempted to clean it? It may be that one or more of the circuits on the membrane board has broken and therefore the signal from that/those keys nolonger gets through. But unless you're into gaming, mechanical, or specialist keyboards, they tend to be pretty cheap these days. So why not save yourself time and trouble and get a new generic keyboard.
