HOW

Can I clean puppy drool out of my laptop keyboard?? I am totally OCD with spelling and grammar and my aA key keeps sticking as Steff has munged on it I keep seeing my posts that have a's missing

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yes that can be a problem, have you tried one of those air blower thingies.

Yes I have tried It still sticks.. It will only work when I go slow and really push it, so I touch type at warp speed then look at my post and it's missing half of a's

sorry I cn't offer ny vice

throw a glass of water over it to wash it out a bit

try a cotton bud or similar but dampen it first

AARGGGHH! Dave, you're normally so SENSIBLE!

I don't know if you can still do it now with more modern keyboards, but AFTER it has been unplugged, it used to be possible to carefully lever up the sticking key and clean out the gunge that's making it stick.

Have you tried licking the keyboard? You will have to do it on a 39 degree anle with a 3.5 degree twist. Send a pic of you licking the keyboard so we can make sure your doing it corectly

Weirdo

Shhhh Janey with the name calling until after they have posted the pic

Sorry

Kylie, you're obviously on your own here (apart from my SENSIBLE advice). Our lovely menfolk are evidently are currently away into their fantasy lands!

I know the A is a bit dodgy but it's no reason Kat to change your name to Kylie

Thanks for your help guys What would I do without you??

don't know Kylie - and the men are STILL being silly! Must be their time of the month

Whats that supposed to mean!?

Thought we are most helpful

Sorry ermmm normal advice.
Have you tried letting Steff dribble on the other keys so they are all equally sticky then typing like me with the heavy duty typing finger.
How was that?

Yes you are very helpful at making me LOL at work to myself and look like a twit

configure your laptop lid to not power down or sleep on closing , stick it on top of a desk , buy an external monitor and keyboard, no more typing problems and you get yourself a new desktop PC in the process , good idea yes or no

Try taking the key off and either letting it dry out or clean with a q-tip. If thats not possible spray some air under it.

Good idea Dave, although at the moment space is a problem, I've just moved a 4 bedroom house full of crp into my parents much smaller house..

I have tried cleaning it with a q-tip but it is a small keypad and it dosen't fit in to where it need to go.. I will try air take the laptop to the servo and use a tyre air compressor..

Actually sitting here looking at where I could put it, and you gave me an idea, I can configure the screen to not power down or sleep, then connect laptop to the 80cm LCD TV, get a wireless keyboard and mouse

see wasn't a silly idea , really depends on whether you use your laptop mobile a lot

Flicking the key off and wiping with a cotton bud & some alcohol normally works. Don't waste any percentage. I prefare to drink a bottle of vodka then lick the keyboard

I can't get the key off Think I'll still stick to that plan though Drink the bottle then if I can get key off I will lick it
