My dad was remote-supporting someone in Hawaii when I was little whose keyboard wasn't working. The thing was, half of it wasn't working, and then it would be fine but the other half wasn't working, etc. etc. etc.
First thing he had her do was turn the keyboard upside-down and give it a good, hard shake.
He had to take the phone away from his ear shortly afterward, as the woman started shouting "THERE'S A GECKO IN MY KEYBOARD!!!!"
(The point being, even if the story in the original post isn't true, stuff like it has happened before.)
