    Almost always, when a vertical section does not respond, the encoding on the keyboard is not working (the keys are encoded in vertical regions) - and the keyboard is bad. I would expect that other vertical keys (8,9,0, and comma, period and slash) probably don't work either.

    Bottom line, there's no way to fix it. Replace the keyboard.
