2 keys on Laptop keyboard & USB keyboard don't work

Solution
You could try and perform a repair install and see if the issue persists. You could also try and remove the keyboard from the laptop(disconnecting the ribbon cable, after powering down the laptop) and see if the same issue persists with the USB driven keyboard. If the latter yet persists, you should backup your critical content and reinstall your OS.
