Laptop keyboard playing up

Options
Hiya!
I have a laptop which is about a year and a half old. Recently lots of letters have been missed out when i'm typing. I think it may be due to bits and pieces getting under the keyboard (i.e crumbs!), although i'm not very good with computer stuff!
If it is due to cumbs etc is there anyway I can clean it?
Thanks :)

    Best way is with a can of compressed air (you can pick it up and any PC / Camera shop). Blow it into any gaps on the keyboard.

    Also sometimes using a clean paintbrush between the keys can dislodge most things.

    I find my daughter's eyebrow brush does the job :)
  • If you are feeling brave you can always unscrew the keyboard (just be prepared to void the warranty), tip it up and blow out all the dirt
