Dell 5570 Keyboard issue
I have a 5570 that I just did I BIOS ugrade for. Suddenly several keys donet work , including the SPACE and ENTER keys.
I did a windows reset and no luck...
Nothing has ever been spilled on the board, so thats not an issue.
What are other options here???

Connect an external USB keyboard and try that for a while. If the issue also occurs with the external keyboard, then the issue is something in Windows. If the issue does not occur with the external keyboard, then it's likely a hardware issue with the onboard keyboard and it may need to be replaced.
Here are some other things to try:

If it turns out to be a hardware issue, you can buy replacement palmrest/keyboard assembly from Parts-People, or use their part number to search online for other sources.

You might be experiencing this issue because the current keyboard driver is not playing nice with the new Windows update. As such, we recommend that you check Dell's website for the latest keyboard driver for your laptop. If the issue persists while using the latest driver, try using an older one.
A configuration error can also cause this issue. To isolate the cause of this problem, we suggest that you run the hardware troubleshooter. This tool can help diagnose and fix hardware issues. Here's how:
Click Start.
On the search bar, type Troubleshooting, and click on Troubleshooting from the results.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Under Device, click Hardware and Devices.
