I have an acer aspire 5750-6667 I popped the screws out on the bottom pulled the keyboard out put it back in and mine worked 100%.
Mine started with both shift keys not working then progressed to the escape key not working and the "a" key not working as well.
Now seems to work just fine.
Fyi this computer sucks, I've replaced the screen, the power plug, the power cord, and now the headphone jack port is broken. It also wont let you scroll down by pulling your finger down the side of the touch pad unless you open the mouse under control panel and close it then it works...
