Hi

On my laptop, the Z on the keyboad has suddenly got very 'sticky' and I need to press quite firmly to get the Z to appear. Whats the best way to correct this?

Thanks very much.

Probably got some crumbs underneath it.

Pick up the laptop and turn it upside down. Give it a shake from side to side.

If that doesn't shift it, prise the key off with a screwdriver and turn it upside down again.

OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Before you remove the keys, take a snap of your keyboard with a digital camera if you have one.
That way you can take them all off at once and not worry about forgetting which goes where.
