shift+t does not work on USB keyboard?! please help!

[proverbs]

hello everyone.

so for the last couple days I've had the really annoying problem of my shift+t not working. i have the wired version of the new aluminum apple keyboard.

i can use shift with every other key.
i can use capslock+t.
i have restarted my computer.
i've tried logging in with another user.
i have checked the text to speech short cut, and it is not set on shift+t.
i checked all other keyboard shortcuts, and none are set to shift+t.
i plugged in my older white apple keyboard, and it works perfectly fine.
I've deleted anything i downloaded the past few days.

i'm stuck guys. i don't know what else to do. can someone please help me?

one important thing i just tested now -- i plugged my keyboard into my dad's computer and the shift+t did not work on his computer either. this means that the problem is solely because of the keyboard.

its such a strange problem. I've searched on Google and it seems to be a common problem without a fix.

Open System Preferences->Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts and see if there is a shortcut conflict or something. You could make or modify a shortcut if you want by click on the cuts them themselves.

thanks for your reply sat comer, but I've already tried that.

this keyboard is driving me crazy. does anyone have any idea on what the problem could be?

Does it also happen in another, even temporarily created, user account?
Can you return it and get another one?

 

[proverbs]

yes, it happens even after i create a temporary user account.

i can't return it, there is not warranty left.

i will have to buy a new one today
