Keyboard on some characters will not work on Sony Vaio

Fedora 14/KDE Live CD

Some of the keys won't work on Sony Vaio  PCG-7142L, like the "L" key 
and others if you try to type.

I  tried to type in lspci , and the l won't show but the s would.

I forgotten whether this machine is a laptop. If not the L key can be
removed and the mechanism cleaned with a solvent. In either case buy a
small can of compressed air at an office store or an large hardware
store and blow out the key mechanism.
