Default My Left Ctrl key has died - any suggestions?

Slightly random question here, but I throw it out to you.

Has anybody got any suggestions for what I could do to try and fix my laptop's left Ctrl key? Until yesterday it was working fine, and then all of a sudden it ceased to do anything. I've tried the usual rebooting and uninstalling/reinstalling the keyboard drivers, but to no avail.

It doesn't appear to have any more dust underneath it than any of the other keys (and I've blown most of that away). It may just be broken - in which case I can have a nice round of emailing the manufacturers - but if anybody has any handy tips for checking that it's not some random software issue that would be great. I noticed when I ran this that pressing my Alt Gr key appeared to register as a left Ctrl press as well as a right Alt press, but I can never remember if that isn't supposed to be intentional.
