    my left ctrl key came loose, and now it won't bounce and is stuck


    I do not know if this is considered a problem to be posted here, but today my left control key came loose. I put it back on, but do you know the thing where if you push a key and it goes down? my key was still stuck down and wouldn't bounce when clicked. I tried looking at other keys and it would work perfectly, but my left control key just wouldn't bounce anymore. I mainly use my laptop for gaming, so this really annoys me. It's just eternally pushed down...

    Recently my notebook have encountered a problem, every time i want to use it ctrl key is stuck. I have tried all of this solution but doesn't work :

    1. pressing ctrl+shift for 15 seconds

    2. pressing left and right ctrl for 5 seconds

    3. double press left and right ctrl

    4. disabling sticky keys, can't find keyboard option in ease of acces

    5. reinstalling ps2 keyboard

    Keyboard acts like i'm holding down CTRL key!

    Sorry, I did not miss it, the suggestions of Rusky where

    "Generic fix for this generic issue: press stuck key or Ctrl+Alt+Del, Esc.

    Symptoms: This issue is not limited to Ctrl, but can occur with any other modifier key (Shift, Alt, Win).

    Recovery: Most of the time, Ctrl+Alt+Del re-sets key status to normal if this is happening. (Then press Esc to exit system screen.)

    Another method: You can also press stuck key: so if you clearly see that it is Ctrl which got stuck, press and release both left and right Ctrl. This allows system to see key press and release events (again) and thus detect correct status of these
    keys
    ."

    Different than yours

    "To fix the problem press these six keys one after the other:

    Left Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Right Shift, Ctrl, Alt"

    Which has not solved this annoying problem

    So far I have not used Rusky suggestion, it skipped to me yesterday, when I had another Ctrl Lock again...
