Your key?

[J'Pol]

The

It just doesn't work.

I've tried re-booting.

[Nimdock]

You can pull up the actual key that is not working, put a folded piece of paper in (that would help to make pressure) and put the key back...

You can always get a new keyboard... they're cheap.

[J'Pol]

Seems a bit risky with the paper thing.

I don't get out very often to buy a new one, but thanks anyway.

[Nimdock]

I recommended that because I do it all the time, sometimes the keys are damaged irreparably, but sometimes it works, it's not risky at all, you could try something softer that paper, if you have anything available.

[J'Pol]

What would you suggest.

[Nimdock]

First, you have to make sure the key actually works... pull it out, and test pressing with a pen, if it works you could try then something like a tiny piece of rubber.

Edit: typo.

THANKS

THE CAPS LOCK IS WORKING NOW.

REMOVING THE KEY SEEMED TO DO THE TRICK.

POSSIBLY LOOSENED SOMETHING OFF.

CHEERS

Hey, no problem, you did it all, I just made some suggestions... glad everything is working now... I don't like when something does not work the way it supposed to.
