Twas due to fur balls Scylla - not my own of course Moved the furry wedge along to the right & my enter key got completely stuck so prised it off! And oh suger - this lappy keyboard's keys have a completely different mechanism to my last one & I can't work out how to fix it back in place

I've got a little stiff brush (mind bggles!) and use this for running along the gaps in the keyboard, brush it to the end and lift out all the cat fur. Turn keyboard upside down and give it a bash, that gets the crumbs out. You can lift all your keys off, stick them in a bowl of soapy water and leave for a while. Wrap them in a tea towel, stick in the tumble dryer or airing cupboard for a few hours. Good as new!

Knawes,how on earth did you find out to do that. Jimmy,I have loads of comp Q, but unless someone is sitting beside me showing me what to do I`m useless. I can pick it up when I`m shown,but not when it is explained,like on here. I just have a comp, keyboard and screen. Thats as far as my knowledge goes. Scylla, i`m not technically minded whats so ever. I can remove crumbs though. Sue

I can remove crumbs though. The only place I remove crumbs from is my keyboard(s) - elsewhere, crumbs flourish all around me Chrissie, can't you "simply" put the key in place and press-click it back on? Otherwise, a phone call to Support? I must say, my present kb looks more daunting than previous ones, but I don't think that bits can get under the keys so easily Famous last words scylla

Mainly does the same as Kath with cleaning keyboards. Er James, not so easily sorted if you are using a lappy Scylla, it's just not a clickable back on mechanism as far as I can see. Will try & take piccies & post them when i'm not so tired.

I wouldn't bother buying any of the Chinese passthroughs - they're inherently (aka deliberately) flawed so will fail after just a few weeks!
Repeat business is what has made China's economy what it is - quantity as opposed to quality!

Difficult to argue with that, but I still feel grateful to them for both their innovation and idea-theft The 901 Mini passthru's I've had have been a complete waste of money. scylla

Don't worry James, it's just Perfectionists opinion, which he is entitled to have. Now get back to enjoying your holiday

James - for a lot of ladees here - you are our juice-man. We ain't gonna let anyone kill ya. Now, as to the holiday, are we going to get a pic of you in yer new frock, or are you going to be truly daring and show us the one of you in your bikini? Hope the slot machines are being kind to you. And did we say, any winnings - half is ours! We could do with a Vapers United outing.
