Hi, Katie. I appreciate the suggestion. I don't have an electronics-safe vacuum cleaner or attachment, so I don't know how I'd do that, but for now, it's working properly. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype mercy0421 AIM mercylab421 http://juliemorales.avonrepresentative.com/ Currently in Winchester Regional, Virginia Partly Cloudy, 73°F Wind:NNW-330° at 3mph A nickel will get you on the subway, but garlic will get you a seat. - Old New York Proverb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Katie Hill" <kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 2:19 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: Cleaning laptop keys Hi, I have done this on regular keyboards and laptops without a problem. Power down the laptop and remove the battery, just to be safe. Then you can vacuum the keyboard out and be sure to work the questionable keys that are sticking to get anything that may be lodge under them out. I have never had a problem in the 15 years I have done this. It is also just good to do it now and then to get any dust or things out of a keyboard. Sorry about the late post on this but it has been a really busy week being my first back to work.

I don't know if that is advisable with a laptop, because I don't know how delicate they are. But you may just have a little piece of something stuck under a key, Julie.
