Given the age of the laptop odds are the keyboard has gone bad. What language keyboard is it and we can help you find one and replace it. Not expensive or difficult.

Electronic items are prone to failure. I think it does not matter what you were doing at the time, the keyboard was just set to fail. They are made of very intricate circuits inside to make sure each letter is recognized by the processor and motherboard. As I said, replacement is not expensive or difficult. It is like replacing the wiper blades on your car. It just has to be done on some laptops as they get a bit older. Do you want to do the replacement?

1. Buy a new one 2. have it shipped to you and 3. install it. Where are you located (country?) it is a UK English keyboard, right?

In the U.K. it looks like the keyboard is about 20 pounds:
