If you are lucky it could be a loose four-conductor flex connection
between the mouse/keyboard assemply and the LCD controller card. 

Unfortunately these keyboards and eraser-mouse-thingies do not seem
exremely reliable.

I may have a couple spare keyboards, and have promised at least one of
them to someone else, but I've been bad at getting back to people and
am having trouble finding the saved messages.
