    Try resetting the keyboard. I have a notebook and when this type of thing happens, I log off the computer, unplug everything attached to it....remove the battery....and let the computer sit for 30 minutes or more. Then when I turn it on and re-boot the keyboard works just fine.

    I know that desktop computers have a reset button, but since I have never used a desktop, I couldn't tell you where the reset button is.

    honestly? Just buy a new keyboard. Cheap ones are like 12$.

    Not worth fixing them
