So you hit the 'e' key and the volume increases. What happens if you hit the volume key?

Is the Lenovo utility Keyboard customizer installed?

Has anything happened to the keyboard? Like water, things falling inside, etc. Keyboards generally don't just die for no reason, so I would give it a very good clean, inspect the bottom, reseat the connector, and check underneath the e key. (careful when taking keys off) To remove the keyboard unscrew the 5 screws on the bottom that have a keyboard symbol on them. Also give the keyboard a decent blast of canned air.
