The seriousness of the situation is hard to ascertain without looking at it,
I'm sure.  Network hardware repair is, at best, difficult.  I suggest you
check your connections.  If you find no problems there, take the keyboard out
again and examine the area around your E key and the leads involved, checking
for scratches or breaks.  Or maybe even a piece of cotton stuck up under your
E key... you never know...
