Answer» I unfortunatley have spilled somthing on my friends laptop keyboard (it's actually the one I'm using right now). Everything is working fine (except for sticky keys), excepts it's booting directly to the windows advanced options menu and the "cue" button isn't working. All of the other letters and buttons work except "cue". The only reason i can come up with why it's booting in the options menu is that the f8 key is continually pressed, but would the computer work functionally if so? Has anyone ever fixed a broken laptop key??? Please help before I have to buy him a new laptop. Thanks.I have never SEEN a cue key on a Laptop, would you enlighten me as to what its function is?
Have you tried to remove, clean and reinsert the key?What did you spill? It SOUNDS like that key might be stuck down because of some sticky material... Be more careful around computers...
[glb]Flame[/glb]Remove each key and clean using alcohol and a Q-tip.
I once spilled a cup of Coke on a S/36. It fried the memory and cost $40G to repair. Moral: Food and drink around computers are not a GOOD thing.
Raptor: the cue key is right next to the any key.
Good luck.is the keyboard made of rubber........remove it...and wash it in soapy water.......dry thoughly and replace it....Sure I'll enlighten. The key I'm refering to is the LETTER "cue". The one that comes after P and before R. I can't use the letter so I spelled it phenetically. The problem stills exists after 5 days. I removed the key and swatted around with a wet "cue"-tip but no avail. Any other ideas?check the keyboard language........click keyboard icon in the control panel.......or reload the driver for it...what happens if you connect another keyboard......via the ps2 mouse port
