Guys, Sadly, as subject says, I have a bunch of sticky keys on my Thinkpad, courtesy 1/4 glass coke spilled on my keyboard. I turned it off immediately (took around 15 seconds), tilted, drained the drops, blew air with pressure duster, applied rubbing alcohol with soft cloth (couldn't go deep enough), let it dry for a day; didn't have the heart to power it again, but did so, and it seems to be working ok, but I now have hard unresponsive sticky keys on the right panel (Enter, R-Shift, Backspace, Home, End, Pg Up/Down, Right Arrow, Insert, Del).
1) Is there a way I can get rid of the sticky hard keys myself? Any particular solution, I have scanned the webs, have found some, but I am not sure about it. Can I pull out a key (I have seen some youtube videos, but not sure if that's the way it works with t400)? 2) I contacted Lenovo support, and I do not have an extended warranty, a new keyboard will cost around 145 dollars. I guess I will have to take this route if 1) does not work. 3) Do you guys know of any private service centers dealing with Thinkpads for such an issue or one of Lenovo's own in downtown Chicago? This basically ends my 10 months clean run of my T400 :-( Thanks Anand _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
