Ahh. I missed that earlier. I understand. 

That you have an IBM keyboard also makes me suspect other stuff 
first, unless the suspect keys _feel_ different. If debugging 
indicates the keyboard to be the problem, your chance of 
success cleaning or repairing an old IBM keyboard is better than 
for the new junk. If you have the buckling spring type, reassembly 
requires more patience than for other keyboards. There are some 
tricks.
