Many keys in keyboard don't work HP G62-b80SS laptop

[rodion15]

Many keys in the keyboard aren't working. I've successfully replaced the motherboard for this laptop because it went dead because of some dampness trickling going inside and is now otherwise working fine. It's been abandoned for 7 months. I've reseated the keyboard connector and cleaned it with a contact cleaner.
I guess I need to get a new keyboard, am I right?

If something trickled in to the laptop it might as well trickled on to the keyboard, too.

For about $12 you get a replacement:
