Set aside around two hours to complete this task for the first time, and be methodical removing and replacing the various screws because they are not all the same size and type. There are a million screws to remove before you finally get to the keybed circuitboard. Access is from the underside of the MIDI controller by removing the bottom plate. Gaining access to the circuitboard under the keys is easy but time consuming. Of course that won't work if the circuitboard has hairline fractures in it caused by a heavy blow (something heavy fell on the keyboard), but usually this would be obvious from physical marks on the case, and maybe even broken keys. with just a few 'dead' keys, this can nearly always be remedied by cleaning the keybed circuitboard with isopropyl alcohol.

If the entire keybed isn't working, the ribbon cable connecting it to the motherboard might be unplugged or broken. If they tell you they will not receive it back for repair or refund, it's possible you can repair it at home. However if you really have just unboxed a mkI, it's either going to be used or 'new old stock', either way it possibly will not have a warranty with it.

Perhaps you have a KeyLab mkII? In which case you can probably return it under warranty (faulty).

This is an old thread, the original KeyLab 49 MIDI controller (to which the other posters in this thread refer) hasn't been made or sold for a while.
