Go to step #17 of this guide: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2012 Upper Case Replacement

Put a piece of tape on the cable, flip up the lock, and pull the cable deeper into the socket, then lock it in place.

My U I O P keys stopped working all of a sudden. Sometimes they would work briefly but then they would stop for prolonged periods. Did exactly as @mayer said .... AND NOW WORKING AGAIN. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!

@mayer, Thank you so much for sharing that - lost the number keys 1 through 9 after a repair; your tip to use tape to get the keyboard cable deeper into the socket worked a treat.
