Asterisk key on laptop stuck - driving me insane - I have no idea why or how this happened.

Forced to type this from a different machine. It happened last night. I have tried restarting the laptop, but no luck. I have tried banging on the offending key. Nothing. I don't even USE that part of the keyboard and now it's stuck?!?!

It's still stuck and I might have to take it to a specialist. Any tips in the meantime? I don't want my text lost in a sea of asterisks.

Help.
