Sticky key

Zuzzie

Hi all you techie peeps - can anyone advise me what to do about my laptop keyboard - the comma key only works if I hit it really hard. Is it possible to clean it as I imagine there is a crumb or something stuck underneath.

I would suggest buying a can of compressed air, sometimes called air duster. Be careful not to turn it upside down as you dust as it will cause frozen air to escape the can.

Insert something like the blunt end of a nail file under the key, then press the sharp end down and twist. Gently. At your own risk. It's probably a good idea to put a finger on the key as you do this to stop it flying off. Clean the key and replace it. Just pushing down should reattach it.
