"C" key not working on keyboard

Ironroger · 04-01-2009, 09:44 PM

I suddenly had this problem starting this morning. The "C" key on my keyboard doesn't work at all. Right now I'm Copying and pasting it every time I need to use it. At first I thought it might just be dirty, so I popped it off to Clean it. That didn't work, so I unplugged it and replugged it in, that didn't work. I ended up buying a new keyboard, but when I turned the Computer on and started using it, the same problem was happening. I really have no idea what to do, and any help would be greatly appreCiated.

I don't mean to bump this early but I just notiCed something else. The C key works when I press shift at the same time. Control + C doesn't Copy, but shift + C does a Capital C.
