sure it can be fixed but i would strongly suggest not by you. bring your keyboard to a reputable computer person/repair place. not any glue but one that doesn't drip into the electronic workings of your board. just like fluid dripping into & onto the keyboard ( a very big no-no), just any glue can & does have devastating effects. sounds like heat & possibly a cheap manufacture caused your keys to flip-flop. i had that happen a while back but it got 'fixed' real good & by a pro. all the difference between having & wish you had...

In the end I suspect you will need to replace your keyboard.
Buy a standard keyboard with a USB Plug to use until your is fixed. They start at $3.99.. Plug in your USB port. After you restart your computer the keyboard should start working.

You can buy a new replacement laptop keyboard on eBay, Dealtime, etc. If you know the part number use google product search.

Google "Replace Keyboard" "your model" or look for online manuals on your computer manufacturer's web site. You should find the instructions on how to replace the keyboard. If you do not want to try to do this yourself you will need to take it into a shop.

You can glue it on ifits a desktop or buy another kb. They are cheap, ergonomic and can help in gaming. If it's a notebook. Usually the whole kb must be repaced, its easy to do. Would take me 5 mins and the average person less than 10
