Something Very Wrong with My Keyboard

My keyboard has gone nuts recently. I bought a slightly used ROG G74sx recently and just over the last week the keyboard has become completely useless. Most keys yield no response and a few yield weird results such as repeating themselves with something that doesn't even closely correspond with the key pressed or yield nothing and a big 'beep' from the computer or just some weird response. The previous owner babied this laptop and I have as well. I never spilled anything in it or even near it. Any ideas?

Check ribbon cable for kb is ok, clean the contacts and if possible give the socket a quick blow and reseat. if problem persists try replacing.

Out of interest do you enjoy loud music near your laptop? vibrations from speakers can cause havok to internal connections lol
