Hi there, have you split anything on it?

Try pulling it out and cleaning it.

Go buy a new keyboard, but for the mean time, use Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On-Screen keyboard.

Try a system restart. My ] and \ keys did that this morning and a system reboot cleared it right up.
