Can anybody help me? I spilt a drink on my laptop and now the letter in between c & b on the keypad is not working. Is there any way to rectify this? I tried taking off the button to see if I could clean underneath but that hasn't helped.
thanks

Would that be the letter 'v'? The siwtch under the button is not working probably due to sugar or some other contaminant. With a normal keyboad a rince with water sometimes helps but I would NOT recomend that here. Taking the button off for cleaning may help with a damp cotton bud. The switch is normally on the board under the keys and if damaged stays that way.Nudge nudge, Wink wink, Say No More!0

A slightly dampened toothbrush can be very effective.0
