Ah, don't you love when that happens?<br><br>It's pretty easy.<br>1. Turn the computer off<br>2. Pop the key off<br>3. Take a bit of isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol; it contains carnuba wax and that will leave a residue.) on a cue tip and rub it around until the residue goes away.
<br><br>You might need to repeat a few times, but it's no biggie. Just make sure you let it dry before turning the computer back on.<br><br>-Dan<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/2/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I was sitting at a coffee shop and my friend was cleaning off the table and spilled coffee on my laptop and now my backspace key is sticky and works when I hit it hard, but I want to know if some one out there has some way of safly
<br>cleaning this key. The key dose not come off and I want this key to work really bad. For those that know me, know that I use this key often. I plan on going home and looking for something to clean this key but I am hoping someone has had this problem and can help me out.
