Here's the connection of each particular keys combined in one particular rows and lines.
Each particular key paths is were connected from the keypad interface IC to each groups of particular ROWs and Column of key buttons connections.

D2-D5= KBC_8=  [FLEX- # , 9 , GAME_KEY2 , 7 ], CTRL , S , O

 This IC also shares 3 lines for LCD display data signals which is the following:

DISPLAY SIGNALS 

D1 - D4 = TE
E1 - E4   = D/CX
E2 - E5  = RESX

GROUNDS = A3,C3, D3, E3

Just analyze on a particular keys which is not working and trace the line across the PCB layouts. Replace the EMI Filter or the keypads interface IC, this chips are most commonly get damaged due to Electrostatic Discharge and Electromagnetic Interference.
If the numeric, navigation or the key buttons which are connected on the flex cable are not working,  might check or then replace the flex cable as necessarily.
