You have a stuck key, which means you need more drastic methods. I have
actually taken these things apart toc lean them, and that has no
entertainment value.
I have also used the dishwasher method and it has been 99% effective. My one
failure was a keyboard that was probably beyond salvage anyway. Be sute to
use no soap and to dry upside-down for 24 hours before use.
The downside to this method is that I now have 9 back-up keyboards.

I have another keyboard I can use (this post proves it, right?) but the
original has some features specific to the computer that I don't want to
give up.  So, where to from here?  Anybody have any experience with this?
(I actually read somewhere from what I consider a reputable source that an
option with a "dead" keyboard is to run it through the dishwasher.  What do
you have to lose?)
