Hi. A couple of weeks ago I spilt a very small amount of tea on my laptop keyboard (no more than maybe three drops) now the return key is sticking, it is a little stiff to push down, it does come back up in a second or so but not straight away. It is quite impossible to spray anything under the key, can anyone tell me please is it a difficult job to take the top off the keyboard so that I can get to spray maybe some meths. under the key or is it a job for the specialist? Thanks ever so much to anyone who can idvise on what to do.

the keyboard will come off, but i'd be inclined to pop off the said key, carefully, then wash out the crap, possably with a cotton bud, then carefully re insert the key'
Thanks donky7 for that advice a great help, didn't know you could get the individual keys off the pad. How would you do it? my idea is to insert a kitchen knife, one on either side and prise gently up, could you let me know if I am on the right track? Thanks once again if it works then my worries are over.
The return key is one of the fiddlyest, as it has a metal bar too.
The normal keys just pull off, Ideally you'd want some Isopropl alcolhol and just flush it through.
