Disable Shift Key

[Lanzaa]

I want to disable my right shift key on windows 2000 professional
because the key board is broken and if you press the shift key down it sticks untill you hit it
you have to press it pretty hard
and i dont want to break the keyboard

Sound's like something's with the the spring

Lanzaa: Why not take a screwdriver and pop off the key?

[Lanzaa]

I Don't think its the spring because the key is stiff the entire time
somethings probaly stuck in it


I thought of that but don't have a screw diver near the computer
And I'm not alowed to take one to my computer

People scared of terrorists

Plus i would like to know this in case i need it later in life

[red_Marvin]

Well I'f your'e not able to bring a screwdriver why not
bring a knife then . A ruler or key will probably also do the trick.

It can be that the spring has popped a little out of place too...

the keyboard that i have seen dont use springs. the use a rubber matirial that is springy. find the machanical problem and solve.

Just a suggestion: A brand new keyboard is about $6...

Mine costed € 36,-

Anyway, it's the Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard, which I like very much. But before this one, I had one of € 5,- as na_th_an already told, they exist

Lanzaa: As the others have suggested, anything flat can be slipped under the key to pop it off. It may contain a spring in this shape:

which may be out of place (sometimes upon shaking the keyboard a rattling sound may be heard.) But it seems as if your problem is purely mechanical. Of course, as na_th_an suggested, $6 may solve your problem completely.
