A couple of observations:

1) On my Sony Vaios at least, they plan for the keyboard to be removed
for access and cleaning. 3-5 screws on the base are removed with a
Jeweller's screwdriver and then the keyboard lifts up at the back. The
clip holding the flat plastic cable into the connector on the circuit-
board can be flipped up with a thumb-nail and the keyboard removes.

2) I had a recent weird experience that was keyboard-related in an
oblique way. I usually alter the BIOS typematic rate settings so the
repeat-rate is as high as possible. This usually means it goes from
4/second to 30/second. On one system it took me over 6 months to
discover it was the reason that the Grub countdown timer ran about 8
times too fast - I'd had to increase the timeout to 200 to have 5 real
seconds to press Escape!

So, with that in mind is there anything in the BIOS settings that isn't
default, or could conceivably relate to keyboard, including interrupt
settings?
