Egluntyne Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tickle under the key with a small paint brush, or get the hoover attachments out. There might be a jam sandwich or a chop bone jammed underneath it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Usually, something like that is the result of a crumb or something similar dropping down beneath the key, and a can of compressed air can often do the trick. It's rare for it to be a technical fault, so I'd generally suspect food or liquid ingress until proven otherwise. What make of laptop?
