      Shift key sticking

      Does anyone know how to clean under the key without removing it? I shoved a special electronic wipe under it and pulled out some dirt, but it still sticks.

      Otherwise, does anyone know how to remove a iBook key without breaking it? It's got a really weird 2 way clasp on it and I think the shift key has two of them.

      I can't program at all with it since Java and C++ are case senstive.

      apparently, a vacuum with a brush handle works well.

      Just take it out. It will take a while to get it back, but if I can do it then you can probably do it.

      I don't have Sticky keys turned on.

      I can't just take it out because of the complicated (and delicate) little clasp that holds it. Remember, it's an ibook keyboard, not a PC laptop keyboard.

      Tried the vacuum.
