Many keyboard testers available on Internet.
Choose one and do a full keyboard test.

Only two non-working keys should be keyboard issue.
Many more keys are connected in the same row, or column.
Entire line should be affected, if connector problem occurs.

Just in case, try known good trackpad board and flex.
Keyboard information goes to PCH through trackpad...

Touchpad has firmware in the STM32F103B6 MCU and if incorrect keyboard is used with incompatible firmware it will cause this issue.
Keyboard and touchpad must be for the exact same model number, a lot of Aliexpress sellers don't know what they are selling.

Is there a solution to this other than buying random parts and testing them?

Getting the TP/KB from damaged machine, same model.
Peoples sell machines with broken screens for low price.
Is good to have in stock, as many other components can be reused.
