Hm... maybe I should spring for a new laptop with a working keyboard...? :-)

(My current laptop is a cheap laptop from 2014, that has proved
surprisingly resilient...) 

On a releated note: is it possible to be able to use C-p for what down
does and C-n for what up does, when cycling through 'M-x' commands in
the minibuffer?

(I have googled on minibuffer keybinding but haven't found anything
useful)
