the keyboard is sticking

[emmie]

can anyone tell me how to get the keyboard letters to move, some of the letters and numbers have been sticking and i have no idea why, or what to do about it. I Do have some screen cleaner, would that help?

if you are watching the news and the item on the Edinburgh tram, in your best Scottish accent, "I'll nae be rood and tell ya to take yae sticky fingurr out of the treacle fisst before ye tap yer keboard..."

ps I find my board sticks from time to time, especially with AB

III haad thee same problemm but it ook now.

Try turning the keyboard upside down and giving it a good shake

I have the same problem with my keyboard which leads to wonderful typos.
With regard to the Edinburgh tram, that's on my doorstep so more disruption to come...

[emmie]

and there i was thinking i would get technical expertise, turn it upside down and shake it, ok, but your fault when it stops working...

[Euphemia]

Let me know if if works, em, before I try it on mine.

[DTCwordfan]

so conclusion number 1, its not em's treacle pot; number 2, is it an AB thing - the speed of acceptance of our wonderful typing speeds; number 3, its the Ed's new spell check.

[emmie]

its a rather two ronnies moment, give me o's, cause that's one of the letters that keeps sticking, so i have to go over everything to make sure it doesn't come out, gbbledegk, see i told you so

[DTCwordfan]

I am serious about 2......

[emmie]

what spell check.

[DTCwordfan]

lol - something about the acceptance of the letters into the AB answer box....i.e. if we are too "quick" in pressing the key......

Ed - over to you?????

[emmie]

DT no the keys are sticking, it's the bloooody oos
Euphemia not sure that its a good idea to turn it upside down...

[Euphemia]

I'll put that on hold then. It is my @ key that is sticky so I keep dropping apostrophes.

[EvianBaby]

As well as turning it upside down and giving it a shake, get an unused paintbrush or similar and and brush over and inbetween the keys. You'd be amazed at the amount of gross stuff that gets in your keyboard.

[DTCwordfan]

now that is a good tip, evian,

do you use water??? (only joking re your name - nice golf club there)

[emmie]

will try and find a soft brush, have a pastry one, will that do, or could that lead to more dough, ooo

No one seems to have suggested a USB Mini vacuum cleaner. Amazon has a good selection and only last week I bought one £3.49 (including postage).
It's this one:-
