MacBook Pro retina late 2013 9 o l . keys not working

Yesterday the 9 o l . keys of my late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina stopped working suddenly. I didn't do anything with the MacBook, didn't even pick it up. They started working shortly after.

Today I can't do anything to get them to work again. Opened the keyboard on my dashboard and it looked like the keys weren't transmitting, so probably a hardware problem.

Does anybody know a way to try and fix this? Or is my only option to go to an Apple Store?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Those keys are all in the same "column" on the rows and columns grid that makes up the array of keys.

That tends to indicate a Hardware issue rather than software or connection issues.
