An external keyboard should solve the problem, or if you want to have a go at replacing the laptop keyboard they are only about a tenner, and Toshibas are usually pretty easy to fit. There are loads of instructions/videos online.

You can carefully pop the keys off and spray keyboard with a isopropyl spray - which you can get from maplins. i would try that before trying to replace keyboard.
