down arrow key stopped working

Hybrid_theory · 11-09-2009, 04:10 AM

My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

try to pop the key off and see if something is stuck down there, like a piece of paper, food, w/e might end up there

My buddy's girlfriend was having this problem with a lappy except multiple keys weren't working. She tried troubleshooting, cleaning, canned air, checking drivers, then she called me. I asked "have you tried rebooting it?" She sheepishly said "no", rebooted, and problem solved.

Reboot is #1 on "shit to do when something isn't right" list.

Exactly. Well my firefox was hanging up on me this morning figured id reboot. cause i dont think i had since i installed windows 7 on it a week ago or something. So i thought id reboot, then maybe prop the key open (though it didnt feel stuck). and yeah WIN.
