It's easy, they usually suffer of "degradation" of the contact rubber plate the keys have inside. Hard to explain with my poor english; but you need to disassemble the keyboard and desolder the faulty keys, open the key mechanism with a little screwdriver and of course, being careful enough to not break the plastic.
Once opened, clean the metal plate with some contact cleaner and take a look at some kind of "rubber cup" that has a black inner plate. You only need to paint this surface with silver conductive painting. Let it dry, check with a multimeter that it's conductive again and assemble all again.
Good luck!
