Jammed key

shellt · 01-28-2008, 10:31 AM

Hey, the 's' key on my Dell laptop keyboard is jammed (atm I just copy & paste in the letter whenever I need it - v. annoying). It seems to be stuck in the bottom left corner, and will only work when you roll down into the top right corner but is very temperamental. Any idea what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do about it?

It's a bad keyboard. Sometimes roaches or ants can get in there and short out that key. I've replaced two Dell keyboards already.
