Thanks for all your help. Even with the 48 working again I'm thinking about a 50 before they get expensive too.

Excellent. If it stops working again, try the suggestions above.
There is a foam piece under the front cover of the case (between the bottom of the display and the top row of keys) that keeps the keyboard circuitry connected to the main board. As this foam ages and shrinks, it can cause some keys (particularly the ON key) to not respond. If this occurs, pressing on the area often makes the keys work.
