    Check your keyboard layout. If that isn't it, that key on the keyboard may just be broken. Do the other keys around the shift key have any problems?

    My left shift key works for some letters.  My right shift works for some letters.  Neither shift key work for all letters.  How does one check/restore keyboard layout if that is the problem?
