There is a way to FIX your keyboard, but not well known. Keyboard problems 
come from little micro-hair trace cracks. The crack is essentially meaningless
but is a gap, enough to cause trouble.
 
You can purchase special silver-based conductive paint. If you know where the
crack is (which I thought you inferred) then clean it up with a little alcohol
and PAINT it closed.
 
Beats nothing. And a new sheet of plastic breaks eventually too.
