sticky keys - PART 2!!!

[andrea_h]

Hi, my previous post (17/11) has recieved some odd responses - but now I'm now on my work PC so can type freely!

1) I can't just buy a new keyboard, a) its a laptop so can't just be replaced & b) its only about 12 months old so shouldn't have any probs anyway.

2) Checked 'Accessibility@ for sticky keys - this is def switched off.

3) I've tried cleaning around the keys but its made no difference - how do you get them off to clean underneath?

4) there haven't been any mucky pics!! There's only me and a 3yr old, unless been looking at naked pics of the teletubbies!!!

Can anybody give any further help??

sounds like something had been spilled or dribbled into the keyboard - sugary liquids are deadly ! ( looks accusingly at the 3 year old ) keyboard has to come out for cleaning the electrical contacts - You could plug an external keyboad into your laptop meantime, they are very cheap - under �5.00. If your not too confident about taking it apart get a techie friend to do it and clean the contacts with meths.
