Little help with computer technical issue

sorry to say - a new keyboard

@chrystaltears Is it just certain keys or all of them. You may want to try this; turn the keyboard upside down and very gently tap on the backside of it. Sometimes little specs of stuff gets down underneath the keys. It happens to me since I do tend to eat my little snacks while I am on line. If tapping doesn't work, you can try using an old, dry toothbrush to kind of clean out around the keys.

I would first clean the keyboard. Unplug it and turn it upside down. Bang it (moderately firmly but not too hard, perhaps) several times on the desk. You may be surprised what comes out! Next, blow any dust &c from between the keys. This needs a quite strong stream of air. You can buy cans of compressed air at computer stores but if you have a vaccuum cleaner which can be connected to blow as well as suck, that works as well. Alternatively, you could take it with you on your next trip to the gas station and use the air line on it. You can also clean the keyboard with a damp cloth with a little dish washing liquid on it. Keep changing the area of the cloth you are rubbing with. Finally, let the keyboard dry and plug it in. If all of that hasn't cured it, you CAN lift off a sticking key (but be very careful not to lose the spring). There is a key lifting tool which makes it easier but it can be gently levered off with a round ended table knife at a pinch. If you don't feel like doing this or it doesn't solve the problem, a new keyboard is the answer.

hmm.. it may be due to dust in the keypad.. try to clean it.. also keep pressing sticky keys 10-20 times.. it will solve the problem I guess. if it doesn't then new keyboard only solution..!!

Well you could try cleaning it as others have advised in full. Or, put a wanted add on Freegle (Freecycle, your side of the puddle) for a new keyboard. Or, look in skips (Think you call these dumpsters in your pigeon English) outside offices, etc. Many a good keyboard, not to mention computer, binned therein all the best urban

maybe there's something inserted in your keyboard. Jurt open and clean it up. . Maybe a buying a good one is better..

Hi, Hope you might have resolved the problem as of now!!! Is it a laptop key board or a desktop one? Probably there may be dust or little thicker particles must be lying under the key butten and the platform. If not yet resolved, try the small paint brush and slowly clean that area. And nothing is work out, there is a liquid (spirit) which evaporates fast. Some engineers used to use this liquid to clean the laptops. But they used to open the area and do it. As for you this is impossible and you may try to take up the key boad and keep upside down and shake slowly and air out the areas where you have problems. These all the few funny things I usually do if there is some problem with the key board. Hope you are done and it is ok now!!

I haven't suggested any solution to your problem but I learned something from the responses that you got.

You got some good advice how to clean the keyboard, this was my suggestion too. Maybe there is something stuck under the button T. It happened to me a lot too, I look for bead jewelry patterns on the internet and sometimes try it out in front of the computer... so I was not surprised when I found a tiny piece of glass bead when I had problems hitting a button.

First try cleaning the keyboard thoroughly if it does not work then leave it upright in such a way that sunlight is incident on the keys. Even that fails to work then take a screw driver and open the keyboard and apply some kerosene oil or petrol on the inside of the key mat after removing the dirt and dust from the inside. Be cautious while packing and unpacking the keyboard.:)

You should try to clean the keyboard. There might be a dust or small things inside. Happened to me and I only clean and works fine again.

Use the air pressure ina can , its usually something between the keys are simply blow between the keys .

most likely needing a new keyboard they dont cost much depending on where you buy it at the most just $10 mine is starting to d the same with some keys due to gaming which means i need to take it easy on my gaming haha

if only you know how to open it... it just need some cleaning... but i strongly advice to get a new one... hehehehe...
