    I just noticed it yesteday, but the "Y" button doesnt seem to be working as well as the others. When you press it, it doesnt come back to its origanly as the other sdo. Is there a way for me to see if there is something stuck under it, or a way for me to fix this or just i should call dell.


    Also, my screen appears to have a faint line on it. I am only able to see it in a game where the part of the screen turns black for a few seconds. I made my desktop be completely black to see if i could see and i could not.


    Any suggestions would be great.

    the key can pop out if you take something and pop it off, you can see if anything is stuck underneath it that way.

    There is probably some dirt or something under the key.
    Try blowing some compressed air under there.

    Take off the keyboard and make sure the data strap is fastened securely as well.
