I would try to remove the keycap and see if there are any chip crumbs or any nasty things under the keycap. If there is, be careful removing whatever is in there. If your keyboard happens to be waterproof, i'd clean it out with water.

 

I'd suggest buying a new keyboard though if it doesn't work. If you want suggestions for cheap mechanical or membranes, just say so!

To remove a keycap, you'd usually get a keycap puller which is usually included in most gaming keyboards.

 

If yours does not, I would take some tweezers and very gently and tenderly remove the keycap. If that doesn't work either, keycaps are VERY cheap on Ebay.

 

And for the keyboard, are you wanting full 104 key, multi-media... anything?

I have no idea what your budget is, but here is a solid keyboard that is a fair price.
