Probably faulty/dirty mylar on the keyboard ribbon cable. You could try cleaning the corrosion off of it with a pencil eraser or something else which is mildly abrasive.

 

Another possibility is that the red wire from the keyboard assembly isn't hooked up to the motherboard or that the wire is broken.
