Default Keyboard problems

This might seem like a bit of a wierd thread..
ive got an asus notebook, and because of me and my brother constantly playing games, the arrow buttons have begun to screw up.
not sure whats wrong with it, but the usual 'spring' feeling after pressing a key doesnt happen anymore on the arrow keys, and sometimes they stay stuck down.

its still under warranty, its just that they usually take FOREVER to fix these problems and they take away my laptop for weeks .

Does anyone know what i can do? usually i would just remove the keys of a normal desktop keyboard, but this is a laptop..

Thanks!

You can pop the keys off, but you won't see much. It sounds as if it's just getting worn out.

One option would be to get a keyboard off of eBay... there are quite a few up, possible you'll find one that will match yours.

Otherwise, you could use a USB keyboard...
