Hi Jeebs
Something very similar happened to me once.
I'm sorry if this solution sounds cheap, But I did this what I did until I could get the computer/keyboard fixed properly.
My "X" key broke. and I lost it in my truck back when I was driving.
What I did was I went to a friend who was handy with computers
He took a key off the keyboard that we decided I never used, I think for me and my keyboard,
he took off the Windows or Function key, Then very carefully he snapped it
to the open "X" spot. It worked great,
I used the computer with no problem, He said if I needed to use the key with now cap just use a pen and push down the little center switch.
Actually, now that I think about it I never went any further I just used it "as is" Until Something else broke that doomed the computer
This happened 2 days before the Breeders Cup
Ted and I tried to save the files on the broken machine, I went out and just brought a new / refurbished machine from FRYS electronics
And was able to be up and running for the Breeders Cup
Wishing you the best
Bill
