    Laptop keys sticking -- need to learn to clean
    Hi I have had my 1st laptop for a couple of months, and a couple of the keys are sticking/not typing without pushing hard on them. I know how to disassemble and clean my old detached keyboard (desktop style), but do not know what to do with this one. It's all one unit, so I don't want to be trying to snap the keys out of this flat area... Can someone please tell me what my owner's manual doesn't -- How to clean the keys so they will quit sticking? Thank you so much!

    Curlyben -- Nothing spilled on the keyboard... that's how I learned to take the one for my desktop apart and clean it... Not a lesson I will ever be learning twice. A couple of keys have just become stiff, I suppose from lots of use.

    Talaniman -- Thank you so much for the links! I don't want to remove keys unless it's necessary; and I wasn't even sure with a laptop it's possible. But I will if it means normal typing! Thanks again -- I will be using the links directly. Nise5280
