wow, someone else with this problem. On my keyboard, the bottom left shift
key and the caps lock won't respond.  I guessed it was a cracked track, but
maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong and its only dust in the keyboard.  If so, how
do I fix it?. how easy or hard is it to take the keyboard apart and clean
the contacts?

any help mucho apprecieo.
