A1314 cordless keyboard keys not working: 0-p\, return, ; / My A1314 keyboard was working perfectly but suddenly these keys are not working. I changed batteries to fresh ones. switched it off and on. I dont see much dust or debris. Also, seeing such random keys not working, I am thinking it could be something to do with underlying key component or circuit board. Please share suggestions. I have revived this keyboard after great efforts and care since it had leaked batteries stuck in it.

If they're not too stuck, you can try taking a pencil/dowel/similar and putting superglue on the end, then sticking it to the batteries and letting it set. If that doesn't work (just be careful with the ribbon cable).
