Definitely look into keyboard replacement. I've replaced so many laptop keyboards and flipped the laptop or used it for myself from people too lazy to learn how to replace the keyboard. I have yet to run into a model that doesn't have one you can buy on eBay.

Fair enough, although I'm using the opportunity to upgrade and attempt to switch to Linux. And probably replace an older desktop computer with the old laptop (with a USB keyboard attached).

But yeah, under different circumstances it would make sense to buy a keyboard from eBay and attempt a repair.
