Hi guys, I have a issue with my mac and was wondering if you guys could possibly help.

My left shift key is stuck so everything is written in caps and i cant even click links without other screens popping or highlighting anything.

I tried downloading karabiner to remap my keys but it seems to not be working.
I'm on El Captain.

Please help thanks.

That's Mac for yah. Should have bought a PC

But for a fix, why don't you just plug in a external keyboard? And then you can somehow find out how to get it working by Changing the key function etc..

Try pressing down on the key and wiggling your finger back and forth while pressing harder and harder each time.
Don't press it to the point to where you know you're gunna break it but enough to move the pin around and maybe get it unstuck. Happened to me a couple times with my old laptops and it worked for me sometimes.
