Stuck enter key.?

Question

Following an accident spill with a glass of wine over my laptop. (Not me though, my pissed up girlfriend, lol.) the enter key no longer works. Is there a different way to "Enter"? It's especially annoying when I've written a long reply on Facebook and can't enter my comment. Thanks in advance for any useful replies.

Answer 1

At the moment, you can use an on-screen keyboard or virtual keyboard. There are lots of freeware versions for every OS out there.



For a short-term solution, buy a cheap USB keyboard. At least that will give you a complete set of keys. The best solution would be to have the damaged keyboard of your laptop replaced at the service center.

Answer 2

Take off the key and clean under it with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol

Answer 4

As others have said use the onscreen keyboard. After that either take it to a tech (will your girlfriend pay?) for the keyboard to be replaced or you could have a go at stripping the keyboard yourself and cleaning the membrane and keys with isopropyl alcohol. I have seem some techs do this although not all kb's can be stripped

Answer 5

Look up “on screen keyboard” for whichever operating system you use.

Answer 6

Answer 7
