After unplugging the keyboard in a well vented area; Try repeatedly to flow in some contact cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Work the key and turn the board upside down and tap it to drain onto newspapers. You may notice some dark goop coming out. Repeat the process up to 6 times, there may be a lot of gunk in there. Drain it again and let it dry before plugging it in. I have had success with this method on several key/button/switch designs several times. If it does not work you have only lost a little time and solvent. If it does work you have regained some Mac function, HOORAY ! -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer http://mog.com/FluxMuse -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
