    I just bought a new E1505 and I made the mistake in letting my girlfriend use it while she was eating. Next thing I know she spilled her gatorade on my keyboard. It wasnt a lot but it was enough. A day later it dried up but now my space bar sand surrounding keys tend to stick. Whats the easiest way to fix this?

    take the keys offf and clean with qtips. If its really bad, just buy a new keyboard, they arent super $ and easy to replace...make sure it didnt get below the keyboard though

    If the computer is under warranty, Dell will send you a new keyboard for free.
