[Sammi]

My 3yr old zdaughter tonight szpilt bzubble mix on my lappy keyboard, i have taken out the keyboard and dried it but its still not working properly as you can see one key seems to be stuck, very hard to try typing this while its adding thousands of that letter that when i want to type it wont let me, i have also tryed putting some wd40 onz that particular keys connection but it still isnt playing the game, anyone have any suggestions as i cant even use photoshop because its playing up?

Not good Sammi. My grand-daughter spilt a drink on mine a few weeks ago and I now have to replace it. The keys have stayed firmly stuck unfortunately. :(

Sam. I know that in the past when my kids were a bit younger the same sort of thing happened. I don't know if this will help you at all but on my keyboard you can actually remove the individual keys. With a very small screw driver or a small flat knife, you can actually lift the buttons off (They just pop on and off) After removing a couple of the buttons around the problem area, it gives you access to clean around the jammed button. After cleaning just pop the buttons back on. I hope this help you. :th3: :th3:
Good luck.

if it wasnt a laptop id say soak the keyboard in demineralized water but alas it seems like you need to get yourself a new laptop keyboard

:( What a bumma Sammi; I thought I was having puter problems; I would be thinking the liquid would have worked is way inside :eek: . Hopefully you will be able the save the hard drive>>you can get boxes for them so they become an external drive. Good luck :)

You could take the KB out and wash it in warm soapy water, make sure it is totally dry and re-install. It's all plastic and stainless steel so it shouldn't really stuff anything :D

Ian, the liquid didnt thankfully get right inside if it had it definatly wouldnt be woking now as the Mother board is right under the keyboard, the HDD is on the back of it,
