qwertyuio not working on built-in keyboard

Dear all,

My MacBook Air 'qwertyiou' keys have decided not to work on built-in keyboard.

I've had it for 3 years already so no under warranty anymore.

What are the possible solutions for this very annoying issue?

I am completely dependent on USB keyboard know whcih is working fine.

Issue also persist in W10 installed via bootcamp.

Thanks in advanced for your kind reply.

Certain keys don't work on MacBook Air (2017) Monterrey 12.1 Some keys don't work on my keyboard (tilde, equal, F12 volume up, left and right brackets, up arrow and right arrow). What I've tried so far: updating operating system, checking system preferences for accessibility, resetting the PRAM). I just inherited this computer, so I'm not sure how long they haven't been working. Thank you for any help--not being able to use the F12 volume up key is especially annoying.

The built-in keyboard has failed and needs to be replaced if you want to use the built-in keyboard, otherwise you can just continue using the external keyboard.
