If the keys fail after movement of the laptop "not working after carry it to walk for a distance" then there is probably something between the keys and the pad. I have seen everything from paper clips to cookie crumbs get into keyboards and cause this sort of behavior.

Sometimes holding the laptop on it's side and using compressed air will blow the item out however sometimes you have to resort to removing the keys.

When dirt (or objects) get so embedded underneath, it is normally easier (and better) to replace the keyboard.
