Sticky Shift Key

What's been driving me crazy the past few weeks is the sticky SHIFT key on my laptop. My cat accidentally knocked over my coffee a few weeks ago and it spilled onto my keyboard. It wasn't a big problem, I cleaned it up quickly but one key was affected - the SHIFT key and I can't get rid of the stickiness. It is so annoying, I'm not sure what to do....

It is the only way to remove what is causing the problem.

Did you remove each keys? Dry the board under the sun then stick the keys back

I'm scared to remove the key in case I can't put it back

It's time to buy a new one, before malfunctioned keys affect what ever your doing on your computer.

Worse case scenario get a wireless keyboard. Or use the digital keyboard on your screen.

Yep, but only after more keys are ruined, so far it's only 1 thankfully

I'm a novice at things like that too, and I'm glad Anna was able to help you.

You do need to remove the key to fix it, it snaps right back in. If you are afraid then tale it to a computer repair shop, they can do it
