I have a toshiba satellite m35x-s161 and the enter key is not working. I have tested the other keys, and this appears to be the only one. I happened to have another toshiba laptop which is very similar, and i removed the keyboard form it, and installed it in the machine in question. To my surprise, the enter key didn't work even with the new.
