    My friend was smoking while typing on my laptop and dropped some ash in the creek on the touchpad. There is ash inside of those tiny lines that sorround the touchpad nbear the bottom. When I click with the left button it feels kidn of mushy and it works but the key gets slightly stuck. Anyone know how I can open it or remove that from under there? The debris is where the red in the img is:
