Answer 1

you can remove the key and clean under it. they only clip on.

Answer 2

I think you'll have to remove the key and clean under it.
Use a butter knife and gently pry up on the key to remove it. Then clean underneath with a Q-tip moistened in rubbing alcohol. Don't use more Brew! LOL
Then replace the key by pressing it back on.
Do all this with the computer OFF.

Answer 3

If worst comes to worst, and none of the above can fix the probelm...
try going to

and buying a new keyboard, but as I normally say, they are very price'y to fix, so look at spending near £50 for a new keyboard, and if you can install it yourself great, if not, then you will probably have to pay (50 for k/b & 20/30 for install)£70/80 to get someone else to do it.

Answer 4

try getting caned air and blowing it out there may be some dust there and or trying cleaning with Denatured Alcohol its made for electrical thing's also.
