When i started up my MBP 17" today i noticed that some of the keys were not functioning. Cmd Contl Shift Delete + various other letter keys.
I don't use this MBP very often as i have an iMac, i just needed to get a file from it. There has not been any liquid spillage on it.

I tried resetting PRAM - no difference.
I couldn't reset the SMC because the relevant keys don't work ( & its not possible to do that from an ext keyboard.
I plugged in a USB keyboard and it works fine.
Also the "Keyboard Character Viewer" on the MBP also seems to register 'ALL' the keys.
Ive run out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions about what may be wrong ?

Running 10.9.5 Mavericks
