    hey guys.

    i finished drinking a can of soda, and left it on my desk. As i was trying to trash it, a VERY small amount leaked and got into my SHIFT button. Everything is working fine except the SHIFT button is making a bad clicking sound as it seems to be sticking to the small dry soda residue underneath it. Anyway to remove the shift key safely? or any other alternatives?

    Have you got CompleteCover? That way you can just ring Dell up and they will replace the whole keyboard.

    If not, very carefully is probably the best idea for removing the key.
