I have used a 6300 all the time for 2.5 years with no extraordinary
keyboard protection (keyboard covers, ha!) and have run into your
problem with some regularity.  Dust gets between the "keyclick 
assembly" and the board beneath it.  

Pry the offending key up by levering it from the keys above and below.
The "keyclick assembly" in which the keycap sits has two little tabs
that you can push out.  A Q-tip can clean the dust out from below that.
Plug it all back in and it works, or at least it has for me.
