Toshiba laptop keyboard stopped working

Contribute to the Windows forum! March 14, Ask a new question. I've had this laptop since late so it is of course out of warranty. A couple of years ago, let's say late - early , some of the keys stopped working. Most notably the space bar. Since then I have gotten a new laptop so I don't really use the Toshiba, but I would like to start using it for gaming. I really want these keys to start working but I think I've done almost everything possible. I have a wireless keyboard that I use with it that does work. Preferably looking for a solution that won't cost anything, if I have to get it repaired I'll probably just have to deal with the wireless keyboard.
