Is it the right shift key? If so, it would be very strange to see two keys just stop working with no outside influence (like a spill).

but why would it matter if it was the left or right key? (sorry kinda still new to mac laptops) like u said if 2 keys arnt working then something happen prolly.

could some one have gotten to it while you were gone?

Well, if the effected keys were grouped, I'd suspect it was a spill.
