Default any computer smarties here?

Ok so I have a Compaq PresarioCQ56 with windows 7. Every once in awhile, my comma button doesnt work. Niether does the m, ., or / buttons. But thats just once in awhile. If they dont work, I found that if I press it hard for a little bit, itll work again. Whenever I hit the SHIFT key on the left side for a capital m, it doesnt work. But it works with everything else and the capital m works with either caps lock or the SHIFT key on the right side(period) Anyone have an idea on what it is(question ark) See what I ean the buttons now stopped working! Is this a progra proble or wiring(question ark)

it is your keyboard there are small traces and springs under the keys and if u get liqid or something stuck in there they dont work right. try popping off the keys that dont work one at a time and clean them out with a air duster but be very carfull when u pop them ou8t as you dont want to break them or lose the spring

Yeah, just buy a new keyboard, they're relatively inexpensive.
