Can you give some details?
- When did it last work? - What does it mean: "am unable to use"? (Is the key ignored? Does the system crash? Do you get different keycodes?) - What are the boot messages about the keyboard?
The pipe key is the same as the backslash key (say, on a US keyboard). And there is some interesting confusion between Yen and Backslash (since ASCII and JIS-Roman coincide, except in the yen and overbar positions, where ASCII has backslash and tilde). So, I am not surprised by weird things on a Japanese keyboard.
Do you use scancode Set 3?
