Use gas duster (canned air) to clean the keyboard while holding the notebook at an angle. If it doesn't help and you feel adventurous you may want to remove the keyboard and re-seat it again to make sure that the ribbon-connector is OK.
If that doesn't help either- RMA it or buy a new keyboard on eBay and install it yourself.
It doesnt have to be keyboard fault though- but new keyboard is rather cheap and you wouldnt have to send your laptop for some 14 days to service center- so its worth a try.

oh okay.. now its working fine after some shaking... i believe its the ribbon-connector that went loose.. Probably gonna do a re-seat of the keyboard and tighten the ribbon connector..

Thank you
