unless you are adventitiously, order new keyboard from toshiba.

a lot keyboards use a carbonized rubber membrane to contact a gold plated
circuit board.

problem is sugar in soft drinks. cleaning circuit board can be done with
alcohol, see thread;

use warm water, *no solvent*, to clean membrane, blot, do not wipe.

toshiba may sell just membrane if it gets screwed up.

much luck.
