iMac help, please. Shift “i” not working

really hope this is an easy fix. – Notice there is no capital “i” at the beginning of the first sentence?  The problem is weird in ways that makes me think there is some hidden ‘Number lock’ function key that i inadvertently pressed.  Or that my son did.

Have a look as i type the keys in order:

Capslock

1234567890

QWERTYUIOP

ASDFGHJKL;

ZXCVBNM<> All okay!

Holding the left-side shift key

!@#$%^&*()

QWERTYUOP

ASDFGHJKL:

ZXCVBNM<> No “I”

Holding the right-side shift key

!@#$%^&()

QWERTYUOP

ASDFGHJL:

ZXCVBNM> No “*”, “I”, “K”, “<”

Free (No shift or capslock)

1234567890

qwertyuiop

asdfghjkl;

zxcvbnm,. All okay!

i will try to visit the Frisbee store tomorrow with the keyboard.  i think the keyboard is fine, but perhaps by showing them the problem – i printed out the list above and determining if the keyboard is at fault, they can suggest something.

Of course, you could suggest something.  That’d be great!

Added later:

I don’t know how or why, but I can type “I” again!

Let’s see: *IK<

Yep, that’s all of them back. Woo-hoo!
