I couldn't get these two keys to work no matter what I tried from google. I then restarted the computer, but now I can't log on because my password has a p in it (no it is not 'password').

My next step is to try an external keyboard. I think the keys just got something under them. Dirt, moisture, something, because the track pad also seems sluggish.

Any tips?

I had a crazy issue with my MBP impacting keyboard. My battery was swelling causing the bind and malfunction. Sure it's not it, but might be worth trying.

You need to reset your system's PRAM & SMC.

I reset SMC. Still wonky.
Can't reset NVRAM because the P key needs to be pressed and it doesn't work.

Usb keyboard works. Guess that means I need a new built in keyboard .
