Issue with MacBook Keyboard

Has anyone had issues with a specific key on the Apple MacBook Air not depressing after a few months. Our #9 key will no longer depress / work for typing the #9, and we haven't hadn't any liquid spills or impact to the keyboard.

Try cleaning the keyboard using the instructions in the following Apple article (make sure to keep the can of compressed air completely upright or you may damage the laptop with the cold wet propellant):

If that does not help, then you will need to take the laptop in for service/repair.
