It's the tobacco that does that......makes the keys cushy;o) A full glass of red wine gives some spectacular effects as well. Just left it to dry (got a dozen of those things in the attic for replacement) and 2 days later it simply worked again. Well only the 55555555555555 on the numpad gets stuck every now and then. Coffee (w milk & sugar) is a real killer on running laptops BTW. Don't try it, not even at home! Good Luck, HarM
