Chris, I took your advice and have a perfectly working keyboard now THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
What I actually did was: Fill the kitchen sink up with warm water and plop in the keyboard and let it soak for approx. 45-60 minutes. I than used the the faucet sprayer held close to the offending area and blasted away for a couple minutes. I than let it drain and finally let it sit in my window sill drying for 3 days. After all that I plugged it in and it was perfect.

Yes, as well as alcohol, and just plain soap and water. Usually, I first try a contact cleaner spray. If that doesn't help (which generally, if more than one key is doing it, I've found it doesn't help), then I'll open the keyboard, examine it for residue, and then clean with either a contact cleaner or alcohol. I've also been known to just hold a keyboard under a running water tap, rinse, shake dry lightly, and then leave to air dry fully. But usually when I do that, its because something was just spilled into the keyboard and it still stands a chance of being rinsed out before it dries. > Is >this a symptom of a Coke spill? Yes, although it need not be coke. Could be paper clips or staples, or some other conductive liquid that has dried into it. Could also just be a bad keyboard. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
