hi, i just bought this notebook in great shape, been using it daily, and a piece of gunk made its way under the w key and when pressing the key for like 10 secs than it start to press it further. in gaming it is really bad because i keep holding the button and it still presses it meaning that it goes forward. so can i take the key off and then attach it back? and sorry for the bad english im european

I think "not" - that is, if you remove the "w" key, it won't just go back into place.

I could be wrong - it might work.

What if not?  Personally, I use all my keys and I would miss the "w".  Smiling.

Consider (before you take apart the keyboard you have now) --

Can you find a replacement keyboard from a merchant in your region?

Can you replace the whole keyboard yourself?
