You could take it to a shop to be fixed, Buy a new one or send it back if its within warranty. before any of this you should try looking at the connections inside the keyboard to see if one...

The keys are probably broken, you can remove the keys very easily by just prying it with a moderate amount of force using a thin object. This will allow you to see if it's physically broken or just has some gunk stuck in it. If you don't know what a working one should look like just remove a working key and compare it to that.

Hmmm I already removed all the keys then clean it and then I check the w key and . key if they probably just have some dirt but they didnt. So I plug it and then use it but still after some time it doesnt work and after how many minutes it works then it does not work again :(
 


I should have been more specific. There are different types of keyboards. Mainly "membrane" and mechanical.

You also didn't state if it was desktop or laptop. Or what model (if desktop).

It's probably not reparable, but if you think it's a possibility then post the model and we can look further.

*You can also google the exact model name and "repair" to see what pops up.

**If under WARRANTY just replace it**
