The left half of my right hand shift key no longer works. The right half of the shift key still functions. Whereas I still can use the right half of the shift key for caps while typing, it is annoying as I often miss that I have not capitalized a letter. Would like to know if there is an easy fix or whether the shift key is simply worn out or broken and can be repaired by myself or a computer repair shop. I have blown air around the key on the chance that something has lodged in the key, but that has not helped.
