control key not working

Fixing a Control key on Apple A1016 keyboard

My older A1016 keyboard bit the dust from constant pounding. I bought what I thought was a good replacement but after a thorough cleaning I found the Control key doesn't work. I took it down to the sheets of film that have the contacts on them and cleaned the contacts for the Control key which didn't fix the problem.

Its odd its just that one key. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes these can't be fixed. Luckily it's a key that's duplicated on the right side of the keyboard and not used to often.

Both of my Control keys are botched -- which is what surprised me, given that the rest of the keys work just fine. No shortcuts for me. :(
