I presume the seller sold you a functional keyboard (you can try asking him/her) so then it's probably a problem in your thinkpad. have you tried cleaning the connectors with a special spray. My step mother once spilled coffee over or keyboard and layed it on the central heating to dry, when it was dry we had similar problems but when we srewed it open and cleaned it it worked fine (for years!)

I guess thats the easiest explanation.

Life's a joke so start laughing

lol, I take it "2" and "0" are among the non-functional keys?

I'd say you narrowed it down correctly to thte keyboard connector (or where it connects to the mobo). Have you consulted IBM?
