Switch off the computer, unplug the keyboard, re-connect it and restart the computer. This may fix the problem.
If it doesn't then try connecting a different keyboard and see if it works. if it does, connect the apparently faulty keyboard to another computer and see if it works with that one.
If it doesn't, then someone may have either spilled some liquid onto the keyboard, and this is interfering with the keys sending signals to the computer, or something is stuck in there, such as a paperclip.
Disconnect the keyboard.
Check for signs of liquid.
If you see any, try placing the keyboard somewhere warm - where the liquid can evaporate.
If you don't see any, try shaking the keyboard gently and listen out for anything moving. If you hear anything moving around, then - ensuring that it is not connected to anything - carefully unscrew the back of the keybaord and see if you can remove whatever is in there.
Replace the cover correctly and re-connect it to the computer.
If it still doesn't work then you probably need to buy a new keyboard - as it will probably be cheaper than paying someone to fix it.
