    My c key is not working properly, I popped it off to clean underneath of it and now when I hit the key it will not produce the letter and sometimes it will be stuck making the c ccccccc like that when I hit it, I cleaned it with rubbing alohol with the laptop turned off.

    have you tried doing a power drain with the laptop off? Remove the battery and adapter and hold down the power button for 20-30s. Then turn it on.

    Otherwise make sure nothing is making the 'c' key get stuck when you press it.
