    My perfect thinkpad keyboard start to show its age. The "A" key is not responsive anymore. I have to press it really deep to get it.
    I would suspect some dirt. I've removed the keyboard and key "A" to clean but it won't help. Any suggestion?

    Get a new keyboard? Call if it is still under warranty.

    Well, the warranty is already out. Is there any other cheaper way to fix it than replacement?
