Posted Hide Post This sounds like a hardware problem with your shift key. Have you tried both the left and right side shift keys? Same on both? Have you tried plugging in an external keyboard? Does this solve the problem? If so, it is likely that your laptop keyboard-interpreter chip is faulty. If this is the case, try taking the computer to a repair shop. Another option is to use a moble external keyboard. They can be wireless and small enough to be easily transported. Keyboards can be connected with either a USB plug, a PS2 connector or via Bluetooth. Dwight
