Acer A515-55 broken key repair? Is there anyway to just repair or replace just that one key?

Hi.

The "J" key on my Acer aspire A515-55 keyboard is unresponsive. It doesn't type unless I put a large amount of pressure on it. It's the only key with that problem thought. The rest of the keyboard works fine.

Is there any way to just repair or replace just that one key?

Hi, did you try to clean the key? Turn off the laptop and split a bamboo toothpick lengthwise in 2 and wriggle the thinnest part of the toothpick under the key cap while tapping the key with your finger (use both hands), remove any sticky dirt that may have accumulated but don't force the key up too much as it may break loose from the hinge. Repeat the process each time turning the laptop on for testing till the key works normally. Don't use any fluids but it is OK to blow the dust out with a rubber PC ball blower.
