Keyboard keys not make contact

I have a keyboard that fails to make contact with some of the keys. Do I have to replace it or is there a way to take this keyboard out to clean or replace?

if you are smart enough to figure out how to pull out the keybord you can try gently rubbing the contacts to clean them and re-seating them, but probably are better off getting a replacement keyboard for the laptop- as they go for 20 to 40 on ebay for most models.
