    Reset the SMC and PRAM, this may take 2-3 attempts.

    Test your keyboard. One common method is to use your Keyboard Viewer.
    Depending on your OS X version, you can go into Keyboard prefs, or the International pref pane, or Language & Text pref pane, where you can show the Input menu. Choose Show Keyboard Viewer, then press each key, and each key combination, such as Shift 2. The onscreen keyboard will show as each key is pressed, and released. You will quickly see if your keyboard is an issue. Be sure to check in the vertical row (2,w,s,x) to check if there is issues with other keys. You may find that you have vertical rows that don't type (more than just that one key), which usually means an internal failure - replace your keyboard.
