Get a thin screwdriver and pop it out. Or dissasemble the laptop and clean the area around the button and the button itself. |

So I just realized that its stuck down, it works, but it doesn't actually "click", knameen? Is it possible to pop it out and put it back on? It's annoying the fuck out of me, but I don't want to break it. |

I'll do the first one, I'm not about to take it apart lol. |

Is the keyboard waterproof? Pour some water on it and let it dissolve whatever's under the button, then rinse it out. |

You probly droped some sticky juice like me on the keyboard. there is a special electronic liquid you can use. Or buy a can a compressed air/dust off. This should do the trick. |

I popped it out and it still doesn't work |

so it pushes down and all? make sure that the button is pushing againt whatever sends the signal to the computer that it's been pressed. It might be a little mechanical button that pushes down, or some sort of metal or electric strip. If you can't get a clear view of that, then open up the laptop to reveal the inside part of it. If you still can't figure it out or really don't want to do that (I don't see how you can cause damage, as long as you put it back right. It will just be like some screws you unscrew and the part will probably come off so you can look inside), then I'd just send it in or go to a reputable electronics or hardware store and get some help. |

Yeah, I got a friend that works at circuit city, I'll take it to him... I don't trust myself around anything other than popping keys off to clean under them. |
