I am having trouble with one of the buttons on my laptop. Its the “i” button I have to hit it really hard and it feels as if somethng s stuck under it. Can I pop it off and clean it out? What’s the best way to fix iit? Thanx
Usually on most laptops you can pop the keys off. Gotta be careful with some as they use thin plastic clips to hold them in. (Like on my 10+ year old tank of a compaq :lol:)
Best way to test it is find a key you never use. (Like tilde, or scroll lock) And try pushing up very gently at the bottom of the key with a flat screwdriver. (VERY LIGHTLY if I didn’t emphasize that already :))
If that doesn’t work try it on the top. Sometimes when pushing you may need to give the key a little push to the front or back to get it out of it’s clip. But make sure you test it with a key you never use first that way if it breaks it’s not a big deal.
If you can’t get it off, try hitting it with some compressed air and hope it dislodges whatever is under it.
