    I have my 5793 and its been working fine for some time and I never had an issue with keyboard.I had an issue with GPU blowing up a while ago but I replaced it and its working well. But just recently the 'a, q and z' keys don't work. Also I think left caps lock and shift are not working as well. All other keys work. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Can I take out the keyboard and try to clean it or something?

    I am on Win 7 x64 and I did try restarting.

    Please help thanks!

    Edit: Is there any disassembly guide, I'm trying to look for one.

    EDIT2

    Ok I got the keyboard out and its connected fine but those buttons still don't work, all the others work, any ideas now? Its strange that just a few buttons don't work isn't it?

    Weird thing happens, if I hold d I can press a but I can't press a and have it recognize alone.

    I guess my only option is replacement. Anyone know some good places besides Xotic and sager?
