So I stupidly decided to replace my laptop keyboard while dealing with a low blood sugar, and I more or less got what I deserved. The replacement went fine, and most of the keys are working, but I can't get the "r" and "a" keys to work. I realize this is rather ambiguous, so if y'all need to know anything else, let me know. Anything helps.

you could use the on screen keyboard and order another one or put the old one back in

is "properly check the keys when you are not in a position to have hands shakier than the average nice guy business meeting" a cop-out answer? maybe take photos of the keys in question if you can't find anything out yourself

I can't actually log in because my password requires some of the keys that are broken. I've been using a usb keyboard, but that broke too.

The reason I'm replacing the keyboard is because my "s" key literally fell off. I was still able to play TF2 with no changes to my play-style. (Being dead serious)

The keyboard looks perfectly normal, can't find anything out the ordinary. It's just that a couple keys won't work at all, no matter how many times I press them and offer blood sacrifices.

I did, but I should clarify: I didn't replace individual keys, I took out the keyboard wholesale, screwed open the back of my laptop, and popped a new keyboard in. Afterwards, some of the keys didn't work. I let it sit for a while, and now all of them work but "r". I removed the keycap and took a look at it, but there's nothing obviously wrong.

damn, that's almost certainly something internal, and I know nothing about laptop internals, sorry I can't help :(
last-resort patchup: use an ESDF movement for your setup, so you can, even though gimped somewhat, play properly enough to pass by
