Wow, earlier today when I was just chilling on MSN, I spilt a can of coke on it. For a couple of hours, my buttons were not working.. then they slowly awoke and now I can type again. So... my q button is sticky... and the s is kinda sticky too.. any suggestions on what I can do?

Thanks alot dudes.

If possible, take off the case/shell of laptop (may void warranty, not sure), and clean up the keys.

Other then that, can of air is the best option I'd think

I drink diet coke purely for the stickilessness.

Ok, what you have to do, is delibrately dump more Coke on it.

Thats the only way to fix it.

Dear god man, go to walmart and get a $2 can of air and blow out the keyboard just in case it MAY help

Sucks for you.....coke is water sugar, and sugar hardens.

You're going to have to manually remove the keys, or, hope for the best.

And I'm pretty sure the preferred past tense is spilled....just like you say: 'I hanged the blackie', not 'I hung!!!' (I'm joking....)
