Turn the keyboard upside down, shake vigorously. Be prepared to be horrified at what has managed to get inside.

If that does not restore function, try blowing air into the keyboard then repeat previous measure.

If that does not work and the keyboard is held together by screws, then obtain a screwdriver of the correct size and configuration to undo those screws. Undo the screws. Gently clean keyboard internals. Reassemble keyboard. If that does not restore functionality, makes functionality worse, or reassembly is unsuccessful, then buy new keyboard.

Alternately, just buy a new keyboard and save yourself the hassle. They can go for less than $10.

Buuut it's a laptop! I've been trying to get the dust out and stuff, but don't see how anything else might be wrong with it. :( thanks for the advice though.

sa

ccccccccc

It randomly started working again. I couldn't find anything physically wrong with it (not an expert) but idk, it's like the "c" key's program was frozen or something. I don't know if that's a thing. Weird, not even restarting helped...

How old is it?

If it is 4 years+ old, and gets heavy daily use then it is possible you are just running into its planned obsolescence period. My money is still on dirt, but you may have to (cautiously) disassemble and clean the keyboard. It is a high risk move though. Or just buy a USB keyboard and use that instead.

You'd be amazed at how much crap falls down there. Dust yes, but not just fluffy dust... greasy, compressed dust with a ton of crumbs and the occasional small dead insect. It's truly horrific.
