I've seen the microcontroller shut itself down if two or more of the keys are stuck 😟 but your right maybe a good cleaning will do the trick, if your in a hurry take it apart put the keys in one of those cloth flow they back and tie it securely, then put the rest of the parts and keys in the bag into your dishwasher when done you can use a hair dryer to get rid of the moisture or you could just let it air dry ice gone 72hrs I guess you might get away with 48hrs... Just my .02 and I've done it haha successfully it fixed my keyboard your mileage might be different 😀
