There's a firmware diagnostic utility you might try out - the
instructions are at

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cheat_codes

specifically "hold the rocker key left while booting".

The firmware diagnostic will let you test the keyboard without any other
software in the way. If you decide to try it out, please report your
results. Others may have other suggestions.

Regards,

Michael
