Have other people been having this problem? The 0 key on my number pad went
out in the same way - I opened the keyboard up and glued a strip of aluminium
foil over the contact bridge to fix it. Does having this problem at all mean

this a rare problem that happens to be hitting me lightly and Erick with
a hammer?
