There are 2 things you can then do. The first is to
dismantle the
defective switches, clean the metal contacts in the base with
propan-2-ol, and rub a little soft pencil (6B is available, at least in
the UK) onto the conductive rubber part. That will get the switch going
again, but it may well not last long.
There are kits to recoat the rubber with a new conductive surface out there.
also check your M4 Keyboard for bad solder joints on the keyswitches, I've
had that problems with M3 and M4 KB's
