Whenever you can't connect to a network it is rarely the computer that is at fault, especially if it has been working.
Step 1, however, is to turn off your modem, router, and computer for 10 to 30 seconds, then turn on the modem and router (often the same unit), then the computer. If the computer is connected to an Ethernet cable, make sure you see lights on both ends of the cable, on the router and on the computer, if not, unplug and re-seat the plugs.
Step 2, If step 1 did not resolve the problem, bring up your command line on the computer. In Windows, click start and type cmd then hit the enter key or Win+R, type cmd and hit the enter key... this will bring up a command line tool. In Linux, find the terminal app.
Step 3, in the command line tool, type: ipconfig (ifconfig if you are using an Apple or Linux product) and hit the enter key.
You will be presented with a list of items, look for your IPV4 IP Address. Your IP address should look something like 192.168.0.048. If the first number is 169 you are not connected to any network. Look for a default gateway and write down that IP address (usually 192.168.0.1, but could be something like 10.10.0.1)
Step 4, type the command ping 192.168.0.1 (use your gateway address). If you get replies back from that, you are able to talk to your router.
Step 5, type the command ping google.com. If you get no replies back, your internet service provider is most likely down, and you should call them. It could also be that your DNS server is not properly configured in your network settings, but if your computer WAS working, it should still be OK.
Step 6, If none of the above solves your problem surfing the web with a browser, then your browser may have been hijacked, you will want to run a couple of good anti-malware utilities to find out. I use two to solve most problems: HitManPro (www.hitman.com) and MalwareBytes (malwarebytes.org)

Is there any other way round this or does anyone know how to fix the keys?

Hi is that you want to replace the existing keyboard from your mom's laptop ? if so right above the keyboard you will find a removable plastic panel (it is fragile breaks very easily so be carefull ) which would secured in place with snap on plastic locks or 3 screws would be securing it in place which you can see on the rear of the laptop , if the battery compartment is under the top portion then remove the battery you can see these screws . In any case please take your OWN TIME TO ANALYZE and only then attempt this. If you are succesfull in doing this then remove the other screws visible that holds the KB in place and lift up the KB slowly because the connecting cable is flexible PCB and you could easily TEAR IT OFF if you pull hard . The Connector also needs lot of attention - very thin and small release the side catches by lifting it with a watch screw driver very slowly else you will end up breaking it . If you have come to this stage GREAT replacing KB is reverse of all this procedure.
