All of a sudden, the left shift key does not respond. When I hold it down and want to type e.g. I ot R. it types nothing - with other characters, it works ok though. It also works ok with the right shift key, with the Caps Lock and the on-screen keyboard. It's just the left shift key that is erratic. Anybody have an idea how to fix that?
There were various solutions on the web (like: hold left and right shift keys down for a few seconds), but none worked.

My left Shift Key has problems
(11 posts)
Well, fact is that it has worked for years. All of a sudden this afternoon it started to become erraric. And it only letters of the first letter row that are effected. The letters QWEUOP do not capitalize and the letters R and I cannot be typed at all when the left shift key is pressed - it just leaves a blank space. With the right shift key everything works. But I am not used to that with my 2 finger typing style.
This is a desktop anyhow. My defunct keyboard is the same as this: http://www.fentek-ind.com/kbmrfotb45ub.htm Fortunately they still seem to be available in the US. I`ll order a couple next week.
