	Your problem is the ADB connector in your keyboard, they probably 
have a bunch of dirt and stuff on them.  You need to unsoder the ADB's and
clean them off, and re-soder them back on.  An Apple Dealer should do this 
for about $10 dollars, if they try to charge you more, I would really Bitch
about it.
	Once done, everything should be running smoothly again.  BTW: if you
have a dealer do it, make sure you test the keyboard before you leave the
store (On a Mac in you have to) and make sure the connectors were sodered
back on correctly.
